Tooth-colored fillings are made from composite resin and are used to repair teeth affected by cavities, minor fractures, wear, or defective older fillings. The material is carefully matched to the natural shade of your tooth, allowing the restoration to blend in with your smile.

Composite fillings are commonly used on both front and back teeth. They provide good strength and durability for small- to moderate-sized restorations and allow us to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

Because composite material bonds directly to the tooth, the tooth must be kept clean and dry during placement. Once the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed, the composite is placed, shaped, hardened, and polished to feel smooth and natural.

Tooth-colored fillings are a practical and esthetic option for many patients. Our goal is to restore the tooth in a way that looks natural, functions well, and supports long-term oral health.
