Tooth Composite Fillings Patient Results
A new patient came into our office with a front tooth that was sensitive to sweets and had some staining around an existing filling. Dr. Joseph determined that there was a cavity and was able to replace the old filling with new composite bonding. He also made the edges smooth to help prevent staining and make it easier for the patient to clean. The patient was pleased that it looked more uniform in color to his natural tooth and that the sensitivity went away.

“I was getting so self conscious about smiling because the fillings on my front teeth were turning brown and yellow. One of them was aching a little, so I went ahead and saw Dr. Joseph. I'm so glad I did! There was a cavity forming. When we redid my fillings, two things were fixed, my cavity and the embarrassing stains! I'm so happy with the results! My teeth look whiter and I love to smile again!”
