What Are Tooth-colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a durable, resin-based material that matches the natural color of your teeth. They are used to:
- Repair cavities caused by decay
- Restore chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Replace old, metal fillings for a more natural appearance
Because they bond directly to the tooth structure, tooth-colored fillings provide excellent support while preserving the natural shape of your teeth.
The Tooth-Colored Filling Process
Our goal is to make your filling treatment efficient, comfortable, and long-lasting:
Comprehensive Dental Examination
We assess your tooth to determine the extent of decay or damage and confirm that a tooth-colored filling is the best solution.
Tooth Preparation
The affected area is cleaned and shaped to remove decay and prepare the surface for the filling material. Local anesthesia is used for comfort.
Filling Application
The composite resin is carefully applied in layers, then shaped to match your natural tooth anatomy.
Curing and Polishing
A special light hardens the resin, and the filling is polished for a smooth, natural finish.
Final Check
We ensure your bite is comfortable and that the filling blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
