They restore your smile, prevent mouth pain, and protect teeth from further decay. At City Creek Dental, we offer composite dental fillings that match your natural teeth perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Fillings

Is dental amalgam safe?

Dental amalgam is a tooth-filling material made from a mixture of metals. It has been extensively studied, and scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports its safety, with only rare cases of allergic reactions reported.

Is there a tooth-colored filling material for dental restoration?

Yes, modern dentistry offers tooth-colored alternatives to amalgam such as composite fillings, porcelain, and ceramic materials, providing natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing results. These are the dental filling materials we use at City Creek Dental!

Why replace a filling if the tooth doesn’t hurt?

Regular dental checkups are crucial to identifying issues with existing tooth fillings. Even if a filling is intact and painless, wear and tear over time may mean it needs to be replaced to avoid future complications.

Sealants for Preventive Dental Care

Research shows that nearly everyone has a high likelihood of developing cavities in the pits and grooves of their teeth. At City Creek Dental, we emphasize preventive care, including dental sealants, which act as a protective barrier against cavities.

Our sealant application involves a simple and comfortable process, including cleaning, etching, and the application of the sealant material. Regular checkups ensure the ongoing effectiveness of sealants in safeguarding your teeth. This preventative treatment can help you avoid dental fillings in the future!
