White Fillings | North Phoenix, AZ

Dental fillings are the most common type of dental restoration for children. Nearly 50 percent of children have a cavity by the age of five, so Jet Set Smiles checks closely for cavities at every appointment to catch and repair the decay in its early stages.

When baby teeth need fillings

When a baby tooth gets a cavity, the decay must be removed to protect your child from developing more serious tooth decay and other oral health and medical issues. After removing the decayed portion of a primary tooth, the filling returns the tooth to its original shape and function and protects the tooth until it falls out naturally. Keeping baby teeth strong and healthy is vitally important to learning to speak clearly, promoting comfortable chewing, developing an attractive facial shape and allowing the permanent teeth to come in straight.

White dental fillings do more than give your child a natural-looking smile

Recent advances in composite resin fillings, the natural tooth-colored or “white” fillings, and their attractiveness, have made their popularity soar. Our Jet Set Smiles north Phoenix office offers white fillings for our patients rather than silver amalgam whenever functionally possible. We’re aware that children can be sensitive about their appearance and composite white fillings look natural, unlike silver amalgam, but composite fillings offer other benefits:

  • Less drilling of the tooth and less tooth removed than for amalgam fillings
  • Tighter seal on the tooth for more protection and longer tooth life
  • Greater tooth strength and fewer tooth fractures because composite resin actually bonds to the tooth
  • Avoid any health concerns about mercury in amalgam, although the amount is very small
