Fillings

Tooth decay is the most common disease in the world, so odds are, at some time you will get a cavity, even if you brush and floss regularly. Decay won't improve on its own, and it can grow to damage your tooth's nerve and surrounding teeth. Dr. Carter provides composite resin and amalgam dental fillings to repair tooth decay and restore optimal oral health.

Because appearance is important, Dr. Carter prefers to repair cavities with composite resin, a metal-free, mercury-free material. Composite resin can be tinted to match your tooth, so it will look like natural tooth structure.

If you need a filling, Dr. Carter will clean away the tooth decay, and then fill the cavity with composite resin or amalgam. She will harden the material and sculpt it to fit well with your bite. Composite resin fillings are durable, beautiful, and lasting alternatives to amalgam fillings, but we can help you decide which option will work best for you.

If you need a new filling or would like your dark fillings replaced with tooth-colored composite resin, call today to reserve your visit with Dr. Carter and our caring dental team. Located on South Colorado Blvd. and Exposition in Denver, CO, we serve patients from Glendale, Cherry Creek, and surrounding areas.
