Tooth-Colored Composite Resin Fillings

It’s important to repair tooth decay as soon as possible to prevent extensive tooth, gum, and bone damage. At Capital Smiles, we use composite resin fillings instead of amalgam (metal) to repair teeth compromised by decay or to replace old, worn-out silver/mercury fillings.

At your checkup or new patient exam, we’ll check your existing dental work for wear and use our non-invasive DIAGNOdent laser to identify decay. If you need a new filling or want old fillings replaced, Dr. Lieberman recommends composite resin to attractively and efficiently eliminate decay and strengthen teeth. Composite resin won’t warp or change shape and is resistant to bacteria and decay.

We’ll prepare your tooth using air abrasion to remove decay. Air abrasion is a comfortable alternative to a dental drill. Then Dr. Lieberman will tint the composite resin to match your natural tooth color and bond it to your tooth, restoring strength and function, while retaining your all-white smile.

Call for more information or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lieberman. Our Schenectady office is convenient to Albany, Troy, Saratoga, and surrounding areas.
