Tooth-colored Fillings

A tooth-colored dental filling, also known as a bonding or composite filling, is a type of dental restoration used to repair cavities or restore damaged teeth. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, tooth-colored fillings are made from a mixture of composite resin materials that closely match the natural color of your teeth. The process of placing a tooth-colored filling involves removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, cleaning the area, and then applying the composite resin material. It’s then hardened using a special ultraviolet light, and the filling is shaped and polished to blend seamlessly with the surrounding tooth structure. Tooth-colored fillings offer a great combination of aesthetic appeal, preservation of tooth structure, and versatility, making them an excellent choice for addressing various dental issues.
