What are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth colored fillings are composite resin restorations that are used to restore damaged areas of your tooth that were removed due to cavities or decay. Not only do they look and feel just like your natural, healthy tooth, they are durable and functional, so you don’t need to avoid eating the foods you love.
Caring for them is easy, too. They require no special maintenance, just brush, floss, and visit our office as usual and you can enjoy them for up to 15 years.
The Process of Getting a Tooth-Colored Filling
The process of getting a tooth-colored filling isn’t complicated at all. First, we will numb the area to be treated. Once your mouth is ready, we will remove the damaged portion of the tooth so that it can’t cause any further damage. Then, we will match the composite resin to the exact shade of your natural tooth and fill it into the removed area. Once your tooth looks complete, we will harden the material with a special light. Once it is hardened, we may file it down so it’s smooth and you don’t feel a difference between your restoration and the rest of your tooth. After that, you will be free to go home and use your restored tooth with no downtime.
