Tooth-Colored Fillings

Natural-Looking Restorative Treatment

If your child has a decayed tooth that needs to be restored, our cosmetic tooth-colored fillings in North Port, FL, and the Venice, Port Charlotte, and Englewood, FL, areas, are a natural-looking solution.

A filling is a common procedure, but Dr. Frank C. Pettinato II, DMD, MS, uses a resin composite material instead of the traditional metal type.

Any surface area where a filling can be noticed is a great location for tooth-colored fillings because we perfectly match the resin composite to the color of your child’s existing teeth.

Our cosmetic fillings are highly durable and resistant to stress when installed. Tooth-colored fillings blend with your child’s surrounding teeth and enhance a bright appearance.

How Do You Know When Your Child Needs a Dental Filling?

If you suspect that your child needs a filling, don’t wait until their next routine appointment.

Give our office a call if you notice any of the following:
✔ Toothache or ongoing pain
✔ Tooth sensitivity
✔ Lost or broken existing filling
✔ A dark spot on the tooth

Patients who ignore these signs could end up with a more advanced problem, as bacteria quickly invades an untreated cavity.

Contact our office right away, so we can fully restore your child’s tooth’s function as soon as possible.

Cavity Prevention

✔ Brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings are necessary to prevent cavities.
✔ Limit sugary beverages and snacks, as excess sugar feeds bad bacteria that remain in the mouth after brushing, flossing, and rinsing.
✔ Avoid highly acidic foods (e.g., orange juice), as they can break down protective enamel, creating areas where bad bacteria thrive.

Certain mouths are prone to cavities regardless of dental hygiene habits and diets.

For example, a mouth with crowded teeth often has points of friction that lead to incipient dental caries (early-stage cavities).

If your child is prone to cavities (one or more per year) despite a rigorous dental regimen, we’d be happy to discuss proactive steps to reduce their cavity risk level.
