What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Dental cavities are a common problem that develops when bacteria deteriorate your dental enamel. In the past, dental cavities were treated with a material called amalgam, which is a combination of metals like mercury or silver. We now know that these fillings don't adhere well with the teeth, and the mercury is hazardous to your overall health. At Rise and Shine Dentistry, Dr. Klein uses tooth-colored fillings made from a composite resin to fill cavities in Rock Hill, SC patients. Dr. Klein can also remove metal fillings and replace them with tooth-colored fillings for a more reliable and better-looking treatment of cavities.
How Are Composite Fillings Placed?
Receiving a tooth-colored filling at Rise and Shine Dentistry is typically an easy dental treatment. The area surrounding the cavity will be numbed to ensure you are comfortable. We offer other sedation methods that may be considered if you have dental fears or anxieties. Once you are ready, the enamel will be treated, and the decay will be removed with a special drill. After the tooth has been disinfected, the cavity will be replaced with the composite material and hardened. Dr. Klein will shade the filling material so it matches your natural teeth.
What Are the Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings?
At our Rock Hill, SC dental practice, we strive to offer individuals the latest solutions in oral treatments. Natural-looking fillings are a reliable and effective solution, offering patients many advantages, such as:
- Guarding against dental cavities

Rise and Shine Dentistry Reviews
They are amazing! Got 2 fillings (didn’t feel a thing!) and a cleaning within a month. Their little dog in the lobby is super sweet and loves ear scratches. Dr. Klein is super kind and knowledgeable! The office staff is very kind and helpful. Definitely with the time and money!
BEYOND IMPRESSED! I graduated in dentistry from York Tech in 2003, so I have a pretty decent idea of what to look for in a dentist/dental office. Before Dr. Klein came in to look at my x-rays, I had glanced them over. I was expecting the worst, but his diagnosis and treatment plan was very conservative; and I'm extremely grateful. Dentists like him are rare these days. He was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. He explained everything in great detail, which in my opinion, is especially important. I've had several fillings done and a cleaning so far. I have no complaints at all! The entire staff was super friendly and went above and beyond for me. My Daddy even switched over to his office. He was impressed as well. Dr. Klein is an asset to Rock Hill. Looking for a good, knowledgeable, and trustworthy dentist... He's your man!
