Dental Fillings in Miami
When tooth decay or cavities develop, timely treatment is essential to prevent further damage and restore the health of your tooth. At Miami One Dental, we offer tooth-coloured fillings designed to repair affected areas while blending naturally with your smile.
Our fillings are made from durable materials such as composite resin or glass ionomer cement, carefully selected to provide both strength and a seamless, colour-matched finish.
Dental Filling Treatments
Tooth Coloured Dental Fillings
Metal fillings used in the past contain mercury, which may impact your overall health. Instead, these tooth-coloured materials are durable and bond closely with your teeth using white resin, composite or ionomers. Our dentists can customise the shade of your filling to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Additionally, the chemical bond created releases fluoride into the structure of neighbouring teeth, preventing recurrent decay. With a tight seal, you don’t have to worry about leakage.
Composite Resin Fillings
These fillings are made up of glass particles suspended in resin. Because the fillings are used directly on the affected area of your tooth, they provide support to the structure for added strength. They are long-lasting and come in a range of colours.
Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) Fillings
GIC is similar to composite resin fillings but is created from glass particles and an organic acid that is triggered to harden when combined with the glass. This mixture forms a strong chemical bond with the tooth, helping seal and reduce risk of further decay. Although they are not as durable as composite resin fillings, GIC fillings are gentle on the tooth pulp and surrounding gum tissue, making them a preferred option for specific clinical situations.
White Inlays & Onlays
If your tooth has been broken, chipped, cracked, decayed or worn, inlays or onlays can restore the damaged area using a restoration that is colour-matched to your natural tooth. These are indirect fillings, meaning they are custom-made in a laboratory and then bonded to your tooth for a precise fit. They are typically made from durable materials such as porcelain, composite resin or gold, and are designed to provide long-lasting strength and aesthetics.
