Considering a tooth colored filling?

Tooth-colored fillings are one of the most common fillings used in today’s dental offices. Tooth-colored fillings are also called composite fillings because a composite filling is commonly matched to a patient’s natural tooth color. Because of their smooth texture and attractive appearance, these tooth-colored fillings are an ideal solution for patients undergoing cavity treatment.

There are some clear advantages of tooth-colored fillings. These include:

Aesthetics: These fillings can be almost identically matched to the shade and color of your natural tooth, making them a great option for almost any tooth – even visible parts.

Reliability: Because they are bonded to your tooth using a special light, tooth-colored fillings provide support and durability and allow a patient to enjoy almost all foods and drinks.

Preparation: Compared to other types of fillings, tooth-colored fillings may require less tooth preparation. Typically this means that less of your tooth has to be removed prior to placing the filling where the decay and bacteria used to be.
