Tooth Colored Fillings

Our patient was having sensitivity on several teeth while eating and drinking sweet things. We found several large cavities in the pits and grooves of her molars. We used a green dental dam to isolate the teeth and prevent anything from contaminating the teeth. We then removed the cavities and rebuilt the teeth using white, tooth-colored composite filling material. We adjusted the bite after removing the dental dam and polished to make sure there were no rough areas. These fillings should last a long time with excellent home care and routine cleanings.
