What Are White Fillings?

White Fillings – Denham Springs, LA

A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a composite filling. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are aesthetically suited for use in front teeth. This material is also fully functional when placed in back teeth while maintaining the aesthetic appeal that silver (amalgam) lacks.

How We Do It.

Composite fillings are placed in one appointment. After the decay is removed, the space will be thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared before the new filling is placed. The composite filling will then be precisely placed, shaped, and polished, restoring your tooth to its original shape and function.

It is common to experience sensitivity to hot and cold when composite fillings are first placed, however this will subside shortly after your tooth acclimates to the new filling.

You will be given care instructions at the conclusion of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new fillings.

I’ve used Anderson Strickland for years and I feel so grateful to have found this dentistry. It’s a nice environment with good people who want to help. I really appreciate the way they have worked with me, giving me options to allow me to get the dental care I need. I use the health care program through them to save while getting preventative care covered. Especially since changing jobs with COVID, I really appreciate being able to keep my insurance and stay where I know I’m in good hands.

Being terrified of the dentist I always avoided them for as long as I could. Finally decided I should take better care of my teeth so I decided to go to the dentist and boy how my thoughts have changed. The whole staff from the front desk to the dental hygienist and the dentist are absolutely amazing. Very friendly and understanding, if you fear the dentist they will do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. Highly recommend.

My family was looking for a new dentist and we found the perfect one. The front desk workers were more than accommodating, the dental hygienist was very sweet and Dr. Karen Anderson made me feel at home. Thank you for welcoming us to your practice. I'll definitely be back.

I’ve been coming here since I was a toddler and this is the only dentist I’ll trust. The biggest procedure I’ve had here was a wisdom teeth removal (through Dr. Mike) which was quick and went smoothly. 10/10 recommend, especially if you have children.
