Tooth-Colored Fillings Houston
Seamless Smiles Made Possible
Let’s face it; metal doesn’t bond well to teeth, so decay can eventually seep into a silver-mercury, amalgam-repaired tooth. With our white bonded fillings, though, we not only offer a modern restoration in a natural-looking white, but the material bonds so tightly to the healthy part of your tooth that it actually seals it, preventing future decay. If you could benefit from a tooth-colored filling, give us a call today.

What is a Filling?
A filling is the material used to “fill” the area where tooth decay is removed due to a cavity.
How Does a Cavity Form?
A cavity is the result of tooth decay. Everyone’s mouth is full of bacteria – and while some are helpful, others are bad. Tooth decay is the result of an infection caused by bacteria attacking the enamel on your teeth by turning the sugars that you eat into acids.
What Can I Expect When I Get a Filling?
When you come in to see Dr. Viet Tran for a dental filling, you will be given local anesthesia to help prevent you from feeling any discomfort. He will then begin to remove the bacteria and decay. The next step is etching. Etching is a material that is painted onto the tooth that helps open up the small pores to help support or bond the filling to the tooth. Next, our natural, white filling will be applied to the tooth before it is polished back to its natural state.
