What Are Biomimetic Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Biomimetic restorations are inspired by nature, ensuring that our materials and techniques mimic the structure and function of your natural teeth. Unlike traditional dental fillings, which often involve removing some healthy tooth structure, our biomimetic tooth-colored restorations are conservative, only removing the damaged portions of decayed teeth. That is only possible through the use of next-generation bonding techniques and biocompatible, tooth-colored materials that match the physical and mechanical properties of your teeth.

What Are the Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Traditional dental fillings often require the removal of some of your healthy tooth structure, leading to weaker teeth over time. Our biomimetic fillings help preserve as much of your healthy tooth structure as possible, minimizing sensitivity after treatment. This approach also strengthens the affected tooth, lowering the risk of future decay or damage.

Our biomimetic fillings offer exceptional strength and durability, withstanding the rigors of chewing and everyday use. Our goal is to preserve your natural teeth and beautiful smile for a lifetime!

Tooth-Colored vs. Amalgam Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings offer numerous advantages over amalgam fillings, including the following:

Natural-Looking: Unlike amalgam fillings with their silver color, tooth-colored fillings look like your natural tooth enamel, delivering seamless smiles.
Conservative: Tooth-colored fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure, lowering post-treatment sensitivity and enhancing the tooth's strength and longevity.
Mercury-Free: Our white fillings are mercury-free, unlike amalgam fillings, providing a safer and healthier tooth restoration option.
Metal-Free: Tooth-colored composite fillings do not react to temperature changes like metal fillings, preventing sensitivity and damage to your tooth structure.
Biocompatible: Our white restorations are made from a biocompatible material, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or other side effects.
Long-Lasting: Tooth-colored fillings are incredibly strong, durable, and reliable, and with proper care and maintenance, they can enhance your smile for many years to come.

Replacing Amalgam Fillings

Our patients sometimes ask whether it is advisable to replace their old amalgam fillings with new, tooth-colored ones. Even if they are not painful, metal fillings can cause problems down the road. If you are considering upgrading your smile, talk to our team at Seven Hills Dental Group. We will evaluate your existing restorations and help you determine whether replacing them with new tooth-colored fillings is the best choice to safeguard your smile.
