Tooth-Colored Fillings
Fillings made from composite resin that is matched to the natural shade of your teeth.
Overview
Tooth-colored fillings, often made from composite resin, are used to repair teeth affected by decay or minor damage. Because the material can be matched to the shade of your teeth, fillings blend in with your natural smile.
What the service involves
- Removing decayed or damaged tooth structure
- Placing composite material in layers and shaping it to fit your bite
- Hardening each layer with a special curing light
- Polishing the filling for a smooth finish
Who might benefit
- Patients with cavities or small areas of tooth damage
- Patients who prefer a filling that matches their natural tooth color
- Patients replacing older fillings, when replacement is recommended
What to expect
- Local anesthetic to numb the area, when appropriate
- A procedure that is commonly completed in a single visit
- Some temporary sensitivity afterward, which your dentist can discuss with you
Why a consultation matters
Composite is suitable for many fillings, but not every situation. A dentist can recommend the most appropriate material for the size and location of the restoration.
