What Are Tooth Colored Fillings?
Tooth colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a durable, tooth-colored resin that restores decayed or damaged teeth. Unlike traditional metal fillings, these fillings are virtually invisible and can be used in both front and back teeth to provide a natural, healthy-looking smile.
They help protect the tooth from further decay while maintaining the natural shape and strength of the tooth. With proper care, composite fillings can last many years, supporting long-term oral health.
How Tooth Colored Fillings Work
Assessment and Cleaning
The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, and the area is cleaned to ensure proper adhesion of the filling.
Tooth Shaping
The filling material is applied in layers, shaped, and bonded to match the tooth’s natural contours.
Curing
A special light hardens the composite material, securing it in place for strength and durability.
Finishing and Polishing
The filling is polished to create a smooth, natural-looking surface.
Post-Treatment Care
Patients receive guidance on managing short-term sensitivity and maintaining oral health to protect the restored tooth.
Comprehensive Care for Long-Lasting Restorations
At Downtown Family Dentistry, every filling is completed with attention to detail, patient comfort, and long-term oral health. Tooth-colored fillings not only restore function but also preserve the natural beauty of teeth, helping patients maintain healthy, confident smiles.
