Repair Cavities Seamlessly with Tooth-Colored Fillings in Bartlesville

Did you know that 92% of the population will experience a cavity at some point or another in their lives? Our team at Dentistry by Design will do everything we can to help you prevent them, but if you or a loved one falls victim to this frustratingly common dental problem, Dr. Luke Lumpkin has an excellent solution waiting in the wings: tooth-colored fillings. It wasn’t too long ago that dark amalgam fillings were the norm for cavity correction, leaving patients with dark, unnatural spots in their smiles that had to be hidden from view. Thankfully, tooth-colored fillings live up to their name, utilizing high-quality composite resin to repair decay in an effective, aesthetically pleasing fashion.

In addition to their appealing appearance, tooth-colored fillings also offer other valuable advantages to patients in need. These include:

• The composite resin material creates a direct bond with your tooth enamel, which means our team can use a smaller amount and preserve more of the tooth’s remaining healthy structure to keep it stronger.
• The lack of metals makes your new filling more biocompatible and less sensitive to changes in temperature.
• Tooth-colored fillings can last upwards of 10-15 years with proper maintenance and at-home oral hygiene.
