Good dental care should not only improve your oral health but also enhance your smile's natural beauty. Tooth-colored fillings offer a discreet, durable solution for treating cavities and restoring damaged teeth. Unlike traditional metal fillings, these composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, so no one will know you’ve had dental work done.
Our gentle and precise approach ensures your filling is both comfortable and long-lasting, giving you the confidence to smile brightly without hesitation.
What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a durable resin material that closely matches the color of your natural teeth. They are used to treat cavities and repair minor cracks or chips, restoring the strength and function of your teeth while preserving their natural appearance. Whether you need a new filling or want to replace older metal fillings, this option provides a more aesthetically pleasing result.
The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
- Natural Appearance: The composite material is custom-matched to your tooth color, making the filling virtually invisible.
- Durable and Strong: Tooth-colored fillings bond directly to your tooth structure, providing excellent support and resistance to everyday wear.
- Preserve More of Your Tooth: Because composite fillings bond to the tooth, less drilling is required, meaning we can preserve more of your natural tooth.
- Mercury-Free: Unlike metal fillings, tooth-colored fillings contain no mercury, offering a safer and more modern approach to dental restorations.
What to Expect During the Filling Process
The process of receiving a tooth-colored filling is simple and comfortable. First, Dr. Simpson will carefully remove any decayed or damaged portions of the tooth. The area is then cleaned and prepared for the filling.
We use advanced techniques to place the composite material in layers, shape it to match the contours of your tooth, and then harden it with a special curing light. Once the filling is set, Dr. Simpson will polish and refine it to ensure a smooth, comfortable fit that blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
A Long-Lasting Solution
Tooth-colored fillings are designed to last for many years with proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, will help keep your filling and the surrounding tooth healthy. Dr. Simpson will assess your fillings during routine visits to ensure they remain strong and functional.
