What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Cavities, one of the most common dental problems, occur when bacteria eat away at your dental enamel. In the past, cavities were treated with an amalgam material, which is a mixture of different metals, such as silver or mercury. As our understanding of dental restorations has expanded, we now know that amalgam fillings are less than ideal when it comes to bonding with the teeth and may even be hazardous to your health. At Dental Arts of Rockland in Orangeburg, NY, we use tooth-colored fillings made from durable composite resin to fill cavities and protect compromised teeth. We can also take out old metal fillings and replace them with tooth-colored fillings for a safer, better-looking cavity treatment. To find out more, contact our practice today and schedule a consultation with our friendly team.
What Can I Expect with Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Compared to amalgam fillings, composite resin filling treatments at Dental Arts of Rockland are generally comfortable and easy. The treatment area will be numbed to minimize any potential discomfort. After you are ready, the infected enamel is removed with a special drill that will be selected based on the location of the cavity and the amount of decay. Once the enamel is removed and the tooth is disinfected, the area will be replaced with the composite material and set with a special light. We will polish the composite resin so it matches your other teeth, creating a beautiful, seamless smile.

Dental Arts of Rockland Reviews
Perfect combination of art and science. Dr Gellis is kind and very professional. He really knows his stuff and he makes an art of it. He’s quick and accurate. Combining that with the terrific staff makes a wonderful experience. So great that I recommended my spouse and he also had a great experience. We’re so glad we found Dr Gellis.
I can't say enough about how pleased I am with my experience with Dr Gellis. They go above and beyond to create a positive experience. The office is clean and feels like you're at a spa! The office staff is helpful and pleasant. The prices are fair and they offer several payment options. Most importantly the dental work is excellent. Dr. Gellis and his staff truly care about doing everything they can to make you comfortable during your treatment. I'm so thankful that I can rely on them for all my dental needs.
Dr. Gellis and his staff made me feel at ease and recommended a treatment plan that was tailored to my needs. I typically have some anxiety when going to the dentist , due to the sounds of the machinery. However, Dr. Gellis and his staff offered a laundry list of complimentary amenities such as a warm neck pillow, headphones, and warm hand wipe to put my anxieties at ease. They were even able to move up my appointment so that I could receive care sooner and did not need to prolong having my crown installed! Thank you so much for your thoughtful attention to detail and patient centered care approach! I'm already looking forward to my 6m cleaning!
Being a physician who was trained by international leaders in patient care, I expect any care that I receive personally to be of the highest standard, just as I would do. Dr. Gellis and his team are at the top of the pyramid, not only from a technical standpoint, but also in how they treat patients. This is the place to go for the best dentistry available.
Kind and friendly caring atmosphere. .I actually look forward to going to the dentist. But it’s even much more than that. I’ve had bad experiences in the past and because of that have neglected my teeth . They helped me through my anxiety and treated me as if I was someone special. And that’s just it . Every patient to them is special. And every person who works there from Dr Gellis ,Collen , Megan , Randy , whoever you deal with is caring and kind. I wish all medical practices cared the same way.
