White Fillings in Clifton, NJ

White Fillings in Clifton, NJ

Fillings are one of the most common types of dental procedures performed today. They have actually been use for over 100 years in various forms and helped millions of people to keep their teeth strong and healthy. While the general concept of fillings has been around a long time, the specifics have changed quite a bit. Today many dentists are using white fillings in Clifton, NJ to get improved protection as well as better looking results.

White fillings are made of a composite resin that is applied directly to a weak or decayed area of the tooth. The fillings are most commonly used on molars, but they can be used on any tooth. When done properly, fillings can last for many years without any problems. In most cases, people don’t even notice that they are there, but they will certainly appreciate the great layer of protection that they provide.

Why White Fillings?

White fillings for teeth

While white fillings are common in Clifton and other places, many people still use fillings that are made of silver amalgam. This is a material that has been used for fillings for generations with excellent results. For many, this raises the question of why change to white fillings? The fact is, there are some very significant benefits that you’ll enjoy by getting this more modern option. If you’re considering the switch to white fillings or have any questions about dental care, consult with a trusted dentist in Clifton for personalized guidance.

The first benefit is that the coloring of the composite resin much more closely matches that of your natural teeth. Unless someone gets right up next to the filling and really looks, they won’t even be able to tell it is there. With the silver material, however, it is easy to see it even from several feet away.

Another benefit is that the white fillings are commonly thought to be safer. This is because silver fillings actually contain mercury, which is a very toxic metal. While further study is certainly needed, many dentists don’t like using this material because it can create mercury vapor when chewing. This vapor can be toxic, even in small amounts. Not all dentists agree on this fact, but it seems like it is not worth the risk, especially since there are no significant benefits to the silver material.

Composite materials also don’t corrode or leak, which the silver fillings can do over time. In some cases the corrosion won’t be noticeable, so decay can begin under the filling. This can be harder to diagnose, and may lead to more damage. Since the white fillings don’t have this issue, your teeth are likely going to be protected better, and for longer.

Advantages

Are White Fillings Right for You?

White fillings in teeth

Every patient is different, so you will need to take a moment to look at the differences between white fillings and silver fillings and see which one is right for you. The major downside to white fillings is that they are more expensive than silver ones. If your insurance company doesn’t pay for the higher price, or you don’t have dental insurance, that may be important. If you would still like to have the white fillings, make sure you talk with us as we may be able to work out a payment arrangement that fits your budget. We offer flexible payments and dental loans through CareCredit so everyone can get the dental care they need, including root canal treatment if necessary.

Dr. Doktorman and the staff at Prestige Dental are wonderful. They are professional and caring. I have always been fearful of dentists since I was a child. Dr Doktorman is truly caring and both he and his staff always ensure my visits are seamless and without pain or discomfort. Any procedures are explained completely and all my questions are always answered.The staff is always great at helping me navigate the complex insurance issues. They are also quite flexible with scheduling appointments or when I have to reschedule. Parking is ample and they even have Saturday hours that help greatly when you have busy schedules. I am truly grateful for their care.

Doctor Edward Doktorman luckily for me, has been my Dentist of choice for so many years. I have done multiple implants, root canals, bone graft, new posts and crowns, deep cleaning, filling, recementing, and other dental procedures in this office, and never had any issues afterwards. Dr. Edward and his staff are also great people on the personal level, very accommodating, very friendly, nice, helpful, go out of their ways to make the patient feel comfortable, and always smiling and joking with patients to lessen the stress of being at the dentist office. The Doctor always takes X-rays much more often than other dentists do before and after procedures (at no add’l cost to the patient) to make sure his work is done perfectly and satisfactorily. He always takes his time to explain in details what the diagnosis is and what needs to be done in an easy to understand language. You are no doubt in good hands with Doktorman.

From phone, to door, to chair, back to the door, this was a very positive experience. I put off a root canal for way too long. Don’t do that, by the way. Anyway, I ended up with a very angry abscess, went to one of those online doctors for $65 and got antibiotics and a dental rinse, and as soon as the swelling was sufficiently down, I decided to just have the tooth yanked. Back molar, not going to miss it too much, a lot cheaper than even going to Los Algones Mexico for a root canal which honestly these days makes a lot more sense than having it done for the higher price (even when factoring in air fare and hotel for dental tourism to Mexico) here in the States. In any case, everyone, and I mean everyone at this office is so friendly and polite and professional and efficient. It just so happened, and I certainly can’t guarantee this nor could this dentist, but I ended up being charged slightly less than the estimate they gave me. Even had it been the top and of the estimate, it’s still would have been a good deal. I would add that I am not a fan of Novocaine at all, and have had dental work done before without the shot because the regular pain I can handle, but I’m a baby about the Novocaine shot. This time I didn’t want to mess around since I was having a tooth pulled, but the dentist gave a fantastic shot and the entire procedure he did an excellent job. The healing process has been going very well with the exception of a bit of sharp bone sticking out the inner side of my gum (according to Google, this is not abnormal after a tooth extraction) and attacking my tongue on that side. I let them know about this today which is a Monday. I’m not scheduled to be back to have the stitches out until Thursday, but they told me that they would fit me in tomorrow.So let’s review: everyone in that office is friendly, professional, responsive, accommodating and efficient, the pricing is very gentle, and the dentist himself Dr. Doktorman does excellent work. So if you’re anywhere in reasonable commute distance and in need of a dentist, this seems like a pretty obvious choice. Going to a dentist is not recreational, but seriously, you’re going to be happy with them here.

Frequently Asked Questions

clifton nj dental implants

White fillings offer several advantages over silver amalgam fillings, including their natural appearance, ability to bond directly to the tooth, preservation of more natural tooth structure, and reduced sensitivity to temperature changes.

The lifespan of white fillings can vary depending on factors such as the size and location of the filling, oral hygiene habits, and biting forces. On average, white fillings can last between 5 to 10 years or longer with proper care and maintenance.

White fillings tend to be slightly more expensive than silver amalgam fillings due to the materials used and the additional time required for placement. However, many patients consider the aesthetic benefits of white fillings worth the investment.
