Tooth-Colored Fillings in Northwest Oklahoma City

A Seamless Way to Treat Cavities

Cavities happen — but that doesn’t mean you have to live with silver fillings. Tooth-colored fillings are made of strong, biocompatible resin designed to match your natural tooth color and preserve as much healthy structure as possible.

At Legacy Family Dentistry, Dr. Armin Zarkeshan uses advanced techniques and materials to restore decayed or chipped teeth with fillings that are strong, discreet, and long-lasting. Whether it’s your first cavity or an old metal filling that needs to be replaced, we’ll make the process simple and comfortable.

When Is a Filling Needed?

We may recommend a filling if your tooth has:

• A small or moderate cavity
  
• Visible decay or dark spots
  
• Chipped or worn edges
  
• Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets
  
• An older filling that is breaking down
  

During your routine dental exam, we’ll use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to identify decay early — often before you feel symptoms.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

Composite (white) fillings are a modern alternative to traditional metal (amalgam) fillings and offer several advantages:

• Natural appearance — blends in with your tooth
  
• Preserves more enamel — minimal drilling required
  
• Strong and long-lasting — resists daily wear
  
• Mercury-free and safe — biocompatible material
  
• Easily repaired or replaced — if needed in the future
  

Whether used on front teeth or molars, composite fillings are versatile enough to restore both form and function.

What to Expect During a Filling Appointment

Getting a filling is a simple, low-stress procedure that takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the cavity. Here's what happens:

1. We gently numb the area for comfort
   
2. All decay is removed, and the tooth is cleaned
   
3. The composite resin is layered and shaped to match your bite
   
4. A special light hardens the material
   
5. The filling is polished for a smooth, natural finish
   

You’ll leave with a fully restored tooth — ready to eat and smile as usual.
