Tooth-Colored Fillings

Resin composite fillings mimics the appearance of natural teeth, these fillings blend right in. They’re also known as “white fillings” or “tooth-colored fillings.”

A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a tooth colored composite filling.

Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically pleasing.   As with most dental restorations, composite fillings are not permanent and may someday have to be replaced. They are very durable and can last for many years, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile.

Reasons for Composite Fillings

  • Chipped teeth
  • Closing space between two teeth
  • Cracked or broken teeth

Advantages of Other Tooth-Colored Restorations to Consider

There are many advantages to tooth-colored restorations.  Resin onlays are bonded to the teeth creating a tight, superior fit to the natural tooth. Such restorations can be used in instances where much of the tooth structure has been lost. The tooth remains intact and stronger.

 Porcelain inlays and tooth-colored restorations (onlays) create fillings that are not only beautiful (or unnoticeable) but also add strength to weakened teeth. These restorations are aesthetically pleasing and very strong thanks to new bonding technologies.

Since the resin used in tooth-colored restorations contains fluoride, it can help prevent decay. The resin wears like natural teeth and does not require placement at the gum line, which is healthier for your gums!

The result is a beautiful smile!
