Tooth-Colored Fillings

What are they?

Composite fillings are a type of dental treatment used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or fractures. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite fillings are made of a tooth-colored material that blends in with the natural color of the teeth, making them more aesthetically pleasing. During the procedure, the damaged part of the tooth is removed, and the composite material is applied and shaped to restore the tooth's structure. Composite fillings provide a strong and durable solution while maintaining a natural appearance, helping to restore both the function and beauty of the teeth.

In summary, composite fillings are a dental treatment that uses tooth-colored material to repair decayed or damaged teeth. They offer a more natural look compared to traditional metal fillings and help restore the tooth's structure and function.

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

Aesthetic Appeal: They are tooth-colored, so they blend in with your natural teeth, making them virtually unnoticeable.
Minimal Tooth Removal: Less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed during the filling process compared to amalgam fillings.
Bonding Strength: Composite fillings bond well with the tooth, providing additional support and reducing the risk of fractures.
Versatility: They can be used for front and back teeth and can repair various types of dental damage, including cavities, chips, and cracks.
Reduced Sensitivity: Composite fillings are less likely to cause temperature sensitivity when consuming hot or cold foods.
Mercury-Free: Unlike amalgam fillings, composites do not contain mercury, which is a concern for some patients.
Durability: With proper care, composite fillings can last a long time, providing reliable tooth restoration.
Repairable: If a composite filling becomes damaged, it can be easily repaired or replaced.
Quick Curing Time: The filling hardens within seconds when exposed to a special light, allowing for immediate use after the procedure.
Biocompatibility: Composite materials are generally well-tolerated by the body, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or other adverse effect

It's essential to discuss your specific dental needs, priorities, and budget with your dentist to determine the most suitable type of filling for your situation.
