White Fillings Houston

When you laugh, talk or smile, an old silver filling may stand out and be visible.  Houston Cosmetic Dentist John Barras now offers a white filling made from material that is tooth colored. White fillings are aesthetically a great choice.  White fillings also bond to the teeth and support tooth structure.   Whether you need a new filling or need to replace an old one, white fillings are a good cosmetic dentistry choice.

Q. If my tooth doesn't hurt and my filling is still in place why would my filling need to be replaced?
A. Chewing, grinding and clenching your teeth cause fillings to wear down. You may not feel this, but your dentist can detect weaknesses during check-ups. If the seal between the enamel and the filling breaks, food particles and bacteria will start to decay teeth.
Q. What is the real advantage of white fillings?
A. Aesthetics are one of the main perks of having the procedure. White fillings also bond to teeth and support tooth structure.  If you’re looking to enhance your smile through cosmetic dentistry, white fillings are a great choice.
Q. How do I know if I need a new filling?
A. You can make an appointment with Houston Cosmetic Dentist Dr. John Barras.   He can evaluate your current fillings and even show you what they look like through his intra-oral camera.
