Composite fillings fill in spaces taken up by cavities and fractures, bringing the tooth back to its original shape and appearance. This procedure can also be utilized for cosmetic improvements to the smile; fixing discolorations and reshaping chipped teeth. Dr. Davis takes great pride in his ability to bond fillings to teeth so perfectly that the transition between a filling and the tooth around it is imperceptible even in a close-up photograph. Test his skills, Dr. Davis takes a lot of photos, be sure to have Dr. Davis take a photograph of your tooth after your work is completed.
Why does it matter? A seamless transition between filling and tooth tells you the bonding is as ideal as bonding can get, keeping even the smallest bacteria from getting back into your tooth. Plus when you can’t tell where a filling starts and your tooth ends in a final photograph that’s your best indicator that the tooth is shaped naturally and a naturally shaped tooth functions better when you’re chewing! We encourage you to compare Dr. Davis’ work with previous fillings you have received, you will not need to be a dental expert to notice the difference!
