Porcelain Fillings / White Fillings / Tooth Colored Fillings

Porcelain fillings are used to fill small holes in your teeth while preserving most of the natural tooth. Old, unsightly metal fillings can be replaced with porcelain for a beautiful, healthier solution.

Whether you need a new filling, a replacement for a filling that has become loose or fallen out or if you simply want to replace unsightly metal fillings, if you live in Omaha or the surrounding Nebraska areas, Omaha dentist, Dr. Beninato has the solution for you.

White fillings, also referred to as inlays or onlays, are used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. Filling these small holes prevents further decay or other damage.

Metal fillings, called amalgam fillings, are very visible. They are silver in color when they are new, but tend to tarnish and turn black over time.

Composite fillings are tooth-colored and do not contain mercury, but they do not have the natural, life-like look of porcelain and can become stained with time.

Porcelain white fillings are created to perfectly match your existing tooth and fit seamlessly in the cavity. They do not contain mercury, and they are translucent, reflecting light in the same way your natural enamel does, giving them a life-like appearance and feel. Porcelain fillings are also very stain resistant.

In Dr. Beninato's Omaha cosmetic dentistry office, we can create an original filling or replace old filings with porcelain fillings. The process is completed in one office visit.

• Any decay and/or the old filling is removed
• A digital impression of your tooth is created
• The porcelain inlay or onlay is created with CEREC technology to perfectly match the color and shape of your original tooth
• The filling is then bonded to your tooth

Porcelain fillings fit seamlessly into your tooth, so that there are no rough or raised edges and they blend in perfectly with your tooth for a natural look and feel.

Dr. Beninato, serving Omaha, Lincoln and surrounding areas of Nebraska, uses the latest technology to create customized a beautiful smile for you with white fillings.
