The days of silver-speckled teeth are long gone. Dr. Kitchen and Dr. Harris place all-white, composite resin fillings, tinted to blend with existing enamel. These strong, tooth-colored fillings look totally natural and can even replace existing amalgam/silver fillings.
A white filling takes only one visit to place. First, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing tooth decay. The composite resin is then tinted to blend with the tooth's coloring and placed into the cavity. A soft curing light hardens the material in just minutes. Dr. Kitchen or Dr. Harris sculpt the filling so that it fits well in the patient's bite, then polish it for a nice shine. Only you and your dentist will know that you've had a filling placed!
Call Dr. Kim Kitchen and Dr. Clifton Harris today if you live in the Washington DC or Alexandria, VA area and need tooth-colored fillings placed. Our state-of-the-art office in Old Town Alexandria is convenient, and our team can't wait to make you smile.
