Tooth-Colored Fillings
Our more mature patients are surely familiar with the traditional amalgam material that was once solely used to repair cavities. Today, Dr. Heim and Dr. Carroll are happy to offer a much-improved alternative – tooth-colored fillings. Made from composite resin, this treatment option can be closely shaded to match your natural smile for a more pleasing look overall. It’s also more conservative (meaning that we can better preserve the natural tooth), and comfortable, eliminating the presence of metallic materials that can react to temperature changes.
The placement of a tooth-colored filling only requires one appointment for patients from Rocky Hill and surrounding areas. After ensuring you’re appropriately numb, our team will remove decay from the tooth, clean the area, and then apply the composite resin into place. Once the filling has been precisely sculpted into a pleasing shape and hardened with a special light, you’ll be ready to return to your day.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are cap-like structures that are custom-designed to fit over the biting surface of a tooth that is severely damaged, misshapen, or requires added protection and strength. They can be made from a variety of materials, such as metals and ceramic, but many patients choose to have them made from natural-looking, non-metal porcelain. That way, the restoration will flawlessly blend in with the smile, restoring its health and appearance.
