Advances in dental technology have allowed dentists to offer composite fillings; it is no different at Lufkin Kids Dentistry. Dr. Celeste A. Mensah offers tooth-colored or composite dental fillings in Lufkin, Texas. Not only do they restore your tooth’s health, but they mimic your own natural teeth and are simply unnoticeable. When you contact our pediatric dentist, she will explain more about this type of filling and its benefits. Please contact us at 936-634-6119 to make an appointment. We hope to hear from you soon!

A dental filling is a restoration used to repair minor to moderate tooth damage. We may recommend a filling if your tooth has been damaged by tooth decay (for example, if your tooth has a cavity), or if your tooth suffers from minor fracturing or chipping. The dental filling is used to restore the tooth to its original structure and function and to return your smile to good health. There are two main types of dental fillings available: amalgam fillings and composite fillings.

The process for placing a filling requires just one comfortable visit to our office. Our pediatric dentist will first remove the decayed and damaged portion of your tooth, and then clean the tooth to remove all traces of decay. We then fill the tooth with the filling material and shape it to match your tooth’s shape. Finally, the filling is hardened for a lasting restoration.

If your tooth is decayed or damaged, a dental filling may be a great choice for restoring your oral health and function. We invite you to call or visit us today to learn more about dental fillings and to schedule your next appointment with our team. We look forward to caring for your smile!

BRINGING BEAUTIFUL SMILES TO LIFE!
