Tooth Colored Fillings Front Teeth
If a cavity eats away at your enamel, then protecting your teeth and choosing the right filling for you is our main priority. Tooth colored fillings help stop further decay, restore the strength of your teeth, and blend in with the rest of your smile. If you want a natural-looking solution to cavities or to replace your amalgam filling, ask your dentist about tooth colored fillings.
Our Primary Focus for Tooth Colored Fillings is Your Oral Health
When harmful oral bacteria is left unchecked, it can eat away at your enamel and lead to cavities. In 2015, the American Dental Association reported that over 27% of adults over 20 years old had untreated cavities.
At Dental Express in San Diego, CA, our dentists offer tooth colored fillings services for your front teeth made with a special resin to keep tooth decay at bay. These fillings are a natural-looking way to protect your teeth from decay, improve resistance to fracture, and restore confidence in your smile. Also, if you have a metal amalgam filling, we can remove it and replace it with a tooth-colored filling to give your smile a more natural look.

Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer sounds scary. When identified early and treated correctly, oral cancer can be managed and eliminated. It’s our job to educate our patients and make them feel comfortable and confident in their dental routines and procedures, so they leave our office knowing they are being cared for and in good hands.
What Is Oral Cancer?
Oral cancer is caused by cells growing out of control in the mouth or surrounding areas, such as the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, palate, sinuses, and throat. Your dentist will perform an oral cancer screening at your regular exams to look for early symptoms like sores, lumps, and red and white patches. We’ll also check your neck and jaw for any potential warning signs. If we find that you’re showing symptoms, we will refer you to an oral cancer specialist. Be proactive and have a dental exam to rinse away your fears.
Best Candidates
People with damaged teeth – whether from cavities, chips, or worn out enamel – who want their fillings to have a more natural look are the best candidates for tooth-colored fillings. This procedure is a great option for people who have metal amalgam fillings as well.
The great thing about tooth-colored fillings is that they blend in with the rest of your teeth, so you can get one on any tooth without worrying about cosmetic drawbacks.
