Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings (Composite Fillings)
Tooth-colored fillings are a modern solution for restoring decayed or damaged teeth while maintaining a natural appearance.
What Are They?
These are also called composite fillings, made from a resin material that matches your natural tooth color. They bond directly to the tooth, making the structure stronger and more conservative than traditional metal fillings.
Benefits:
- Aesthetic: Blends in with your natural teeth
- Quick: Usually done in one visit
- Safe: No mercury, unlike amalgam fillings
- Durable: Long-lasting with proper care
- Tooth-saving: Less healthy tooth material needs to be removed
Other Types of Fillings:
- Amalgam: Silver-colored, long-lasting but more noticeable
- Porcelain: Tooth-colored and stain-resistant, often used for inlays/onlays
- Fissure Seals: Protective coatings applied to the grooves of back teeth to prevent cavities
