Tooth-colored fillings are durable and natural-looking, making them a popular choice for restoring cavities or replacing older metal fillings. At Doug Booth, D.D.S. in Huntsville, we use advanced composite materials that bond directly to the tooth structure, strengthening the tooth and allowing for a more conservative approach to treatment.
When placed correctly and maintained with good oral hygiene, tooth-colored fillings can last anywhere from 7 to 10 years or longer. Filling longevity depends on factors like the size and extent of the filling, your oral habits, and how well you care for your teeth. Avoiding habits like chewing on ice or fingernails can help extend the life of your filling. If you grind your teeth, we offer protective nightguards to protect your natural teeth and your dentistry.
