Dentistry continues to improve each year—gone are the days of metal and gold crowns. These filings are too noticeable for modern-day standards. Instead, you’ll want a filling solution that blends in with the rest of your teeth.

Mann Family Dental is Manchester’s home for your oral health needs. Dr. Russell D. Mann leads a team of talented dentists to fix any dental issue you are suffering from. Our family environment makes us an ideal spot for both children and adults. We can provide aesthetically pleasing tooth-colored fillings in Manchester, NH, to you and your family.

The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings in Manchester, NH

There are multiple benefits that fillings provide to our patients. Firstly, our tooth-colored fillings match the rest of your teeth, so they don’t look out of place. Just about everyone is self-conscious about their teeth, so it’s easy to understand why you don’t want fillings that people notice whenever you open your mouth.

That’s why we provide fillings that match the tone of your existing teeth. We aim to remove any shred of insecurity you have about your teeth and your smile. In turn, we create a safe, comfortable environment for you and your family to remove any misconceptions you may have about teeth fillings.

Tooth fillings can prevent several oral health conditions like tooth decay and root canals. Plus, they act as a barrier against harmful bacteria. Keeping bacteria out of your mouth should be your top priority.

Overall, fillings restore your teeth to their original function and prevent further complications down the road.

When To Get a Filling

Your dentist will most likely be the one to tell you that you need fillings. Fillings are among the most common procedures we perform on patients. We all get cavities occasionally, even people with impeccable teeth.

If you choose to ignore cavities, bacteria can spread in your mouth and increase the decay process.

There are several things you can do to prevent the need for fillings. Regularly brushing your teeth, flossing, and using antibacterial mouthwash are all ways to prevent tooth and gum damage. Also, be sure to rinse your mouth after brushing and flossing. These activities remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, but buildup will stay in your mouth should you not rinse properly.

But the best thing you can do to prevent cavities is to visit your dentist at least twice a year for routine maintenance. Your dentist can update you on your oral hygiene success and course-correct in real-time.

Our Filling Process

Our patient-friendly staff has decades of experience with tooth-colored fillings. Our composite resin fillings are the most durable filling type.

With a filling, you want to bond your affected tooth seamlessly with its neighboring teeth. Composite resin is the perfect material to accomplish this task. Plus, this material is safer than other alternative filing methods like silver amalgam.

We begin our filling process by eliminating excess decay from your teeth. This process ensures that no bacteria gets under your fillings. Then, we’ll apply the base layer of our filling, made from a glass ionomer. This baselayer serves as a sealant, covering the exposed portion of your tooth. We then use state-of-the-art dental lights that harden the filling.

Our tooth-colored fillings in Manchester, NH, are durable and will last you a long time. Better yet, they won’t budge or dislodge in your mouth.

Overall, fillings take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many fillings you’re receiving. It takes a few days to a couple of weeks for your teeth to feel normal again with your new filling.

We can also replace old fillings with tooth-colored ones upon request.
