Tooth-Colored Fillings in Manhattan, NY
What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
To best serve her patients, cosmetic and general dentist, Dr. Victoria Veytsman, runs a metal and mercury free dental practice. When fillings are needed to fill a dental cavity or strengthen the tooth, Dr. Veytsman uses resin and porcelain for a better treatment and the tooth-colored fillings help to maintain the aesthetic value of the patient's teeth after the procedure. Every filling at Dr. Veytsman's Midtown Manhattan dental practice is colored to match the patient's natural teeth for seamless protection. Another reason Dr. Veytsman prefers tooth-colored fillings is the fact that they do not change in size or appearance like metal fillings and resin or porcelain fillings cause less sensitivity to the patient. Dr. Veytsman highly recommends tooth-colored porcelain or resin over metal for those in need of dental fillings.
What Are the Benefits Of Tooth-Colored Fillings?
At our Manhattan, NY facility, we are here to give our patients modern offerings in oral care. Natural-looking fillings are a safe and beneficial option, providing patients many advantages, such as:
- Attractive look that flawlessly blends with your teeth
- Shielding against decay
- Preventing plaque and debris collection
- Simple, same-day procedure that allows for years of protection
- Minimizes sensitivity to temperature changes
- Restores strength and functionality to the tooth
Am I a good candidate for Tooth-colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings often fill in the area of decay in the tooth after it has been cleaned by Dr. Veytsman. Composite resin is a useful material that may be used to treat other problems with your teeth, including cracks or wear on the enamel by bruxism (teeth grinding). Since the composite resin is colored to blend with your teeth, tooth-colored fillings may be used on the back and front teeth for a seamless appearance. If you have amalgam fillings, talk to Dr. Veytsman about getting them taken out and re-done with composite resin.
What Should I Expect during Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Dr. Veytsman offers her patients a one-of-a-kind experience when undergoing a filling procedure. Prior to the procedure, the patient’s tooth is photographed and measured to create a filling that is comfortable and matches the shade of their tooth. The filling, made of resin or porcelain, is then bonded to the tooth. These steps help to create a filling that perfectly fits the patient's tooth and covers the entire area that needs protection. This procedure can cause minor pain and discomfort, so most patients will not be able to immediately return to their regular routines.
Cosmetic Dental Studios Reviews
Bespoke dental care in NYC. Very personalized treatment plans. I highly recommend her work. I had some fillings replaced a few years ago by Dr. Veytsman, and everything was painless and went well. The office staff is very warm and welcoming. It's a bit more expensive than other dentists, but you get what you pay for. This is a much more luxurious experience than other dentist's offices. It's definitely worth the cost.
Came in absolutely terrified of the dentist because of very bad experiences in the past. I had avoided the dentist for at least 5 years before this. I left with a smile on my face after the very first visit. Dr. Vetsman was kind and patient and I felt at ease right away. Its taken many visits to get everything done that I need but I no longer have that fear or dread of the dentist. I'm very thankful to have found them.
Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. I had a lot of fear issues before I came here and that all just melted away. I'm super pleased and grateful for everything.
Excellent excellent excellent. They get my highest recommendation. From someone who has never enjoyed going to the dentist this has changed everything for me. I hadn't been in years and had tons of cavities and needed a good cleaning. I eventually got all that done ended up getting veneers on a few really broken down teeth. Wish I had found them sooner. Aside from the work I had done the doctor and the assistant handle everything with such a great bedside manner, respect, humor and grace that it became a pleasure to come in.
Love Her and She Made My Teeth Look Like a Movie Star! – Dr Veytsman has been my dentist for a few years now and I couldn't be happier. I get compliments on my teeth all the time. I see her for both cleanings and cosmetic dental work and she's stellar at both. I work on camera and need my teeth to look great all the time. Choosing a good dentist is very important to me and I'm so glad I found Dr. Veytsman. I would also like to add that she's such a nice person and wonderful to be around. I really hate having dental work done but I love visiting Dr. Veytsman. She really makes the experience so much more enjoyable with her warm personality. She's a talented dentist and a cool lady. I'm thrilled that I found her.

What Should I expect following Tooth-colored Fillings?
Following a filling procedure, patients will need time, at least 1 – 3 hours, to allow their anesthesia to wear off before they can leave the office. Patients should be cautious in talking or chewing so they do not bite the inside of their mouth or tongue while the area is numb. The gums may also be tender or sore at the injection site, but this will subside in a day or so. The tooth or teeth will be sensitive to hot or cold liquids or food for a short time, but this is normal and temporary. Should patients feel any extreme discomfort or unevenness in the tooth after the anesthesia has worn off, please call our office immediately. Patients typically should not expect to receive any medication or special instructions unless directed by Dr. Veytsman during their consultation or after the procedure.
What are the Anticipated Costs of Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Like other dental procedures, the cost of a tooth-colored filling is dependent upon the amount of work that needs to be done and the materials needed. Our office will contact the patient's insurance company prior to visiting our New York office, to inquire if this procedure is covered within their policy. For those without insurance or looking to pay the cost out of pocket, payment options can be discussed during the consultation with Dr. Veytsman.

Tooth-Colored Fillings FAQs
Do tooth-colored fillings look natural?
Yes, they do. The resin of the fillings can be customized to match the exact shade of your teeth, providing a seamlessly transition from tooth to filling. This creates a natural smile that our patients are always proud to show off.
How long does a tooth-colored filling last?
This can differ from one patient to another depending on their commitment to a proper oral health routine. However, with correct oral hygiene, regularly scheduled checkups, and avoiding any potential tooth damage, a typical tooth-colored filling can last up to 10 years or longer in some cases.
Are tooth-colored fillings safe?
Yes, they are. A tooth-colored filling is generally considered safer than traditional amalgam fillings because they use a composite resin (plastic and silicon dioxide) instead of silver and mercury, which can be absorbed by the body and may be hazardous to your health.
How long does it take to get a tooth-colored filling?
The length of your appointment will depend on the tooth being treated and the size of the cavity. In most cases, this procedure can be completed in about 30 minutes to an hour. It's important to note that this time could increase if combined with other procedures.
Is getting a tooth-colored filling painful?
The process of getting a tooth-colored filling is typically not painful, as it is performed under local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding tissues. Patients may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity after the anesthesia wears off, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Can tooth-colored fillings be replaced if damaged or worn?
Yes, tooth-colored fillings can be replaced if they become damaged or worn or if there are changes in oral health or aesthetics over time. Our dental team can evaluate the condition of the filling and recommend replacement if necessary to ensure optimal function and appearance.
