Decades ago, dentists used to seal cavity damage with noticeable gold fillings.
However, in more recent years, they have embraced a subtle yet effective alternative: tooth-colored fillings. Tooth-colored fillings, or amalgam fillings, are designed to mimic the natural shade of your teeth.
Dental fillings use composite resin, which is strong and natural-looking, to fill areas impacted by decay. They can ensure that the space stays clear of food particles and buildup so that you can return to a life without dental discomfort.
The Dramatic Difference Dental Fillings Can Make
Choose a Filling That Makes Your Teeth Stronger
There are many types of fillings out there, such as gold and silver.
However, there is only one that can actually make your teeth stronger: amalgam fillings, made from composite resin.
Our Aurora office uses amalgams to give our patients effective, discrete results.
Amalgam fillings used tooth-colored composite resin for the most natural results.

Both my mom and myself use Dr Terrence. He has been wonderfully kind to my mother who doesn't like going to the dentist. She thinks he's great. Also he has all the latest equipment without pushing unnecessary treatment. We are very happy with Dr Wolbaum and would highly recommend him

This is by far the absolute best dental practice. I've gone here over the past few years. Dr. T and his hygienist do the best cleanings, give the best advice, and have the absolute best bedside manner. Seriously, I was a med student and part of my motivation to come here was to see and learn from their bedside manner.

Are Fillings Painful?
From gold fillings to tooth-colored fillings, many patients have the same question: will this hurt?
The truth is, you've probably experienced a lot of pain recently due to your decayed or damaged tooth. A dental filling will end that discomfort.
Your dentist, Dr. Wolbaum, will also use a local anesthetic ensure that the area is numb before he works on your composite fillings. That way, you do not feel any pain during the process.
If you have dental anxiety or think you might need further sedation, you can talk to him about the options available.
The consistent care you take of your teeth can make a significant difference in your overall oral health.
How to Prevent Future Cavities
Brush Properly
You should brush twice a day for two minutes, ensuring that you clean both your teeth and gums. If you do not have an electric toothbrush, talk to Dr. Wolbaum about his recommendations.
Floss Daily
If you do not floss, plaque can build up. It may eventually lead to cavities, leading you to need more dental fillings down the road. When you floss each day, remember to move your floss at a C-shaped curve.
Use Mouthwash
Mouthwash can prevent food particles from lodging in your teeth and accumulating plaque. It can also reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth — a strong cause of cavities.
