When considering tooth fillings, one of the options available is composite fillings which are made from durable plastics that are similar in color to natural teeth. Because the composite fillings are Tooth Colored Fillings, they look more natural and are less noticeable compared to other types of fillings.
One common question we hear is:
How long does a dental filling take in Bainbridge Island?
At Islandental on Bainbridge Island, a typical composite filling takes between 20 and 60 minutes. Most small or medium cavities can be treated in about 30 to 45 minutes, while multiple fillings may take up to an hour in a single visit.
Tooth Colored Fillings and Sealants
Another benefit of Tooth Colored Fillings is that they are compatible with sealants, allowing your dentist on Bainbridge Island to perform both procedures in a single sitting and thus preventing further decay. There are other advantages to composite, tooth-colored fillings such as, most importantly, its ability to bond to tooth structures. Also, in many cases these fillings can be repaired by the addition of more composite material.
