Tooth‑Colored Fillings

Tooth‑Colored Fillings

Overview

Tooth‑colored fillings repair cavities without the metallic look of traditional amalgam. Composite resins bond directly to the tooth structure, providing a strong and aesthetic restoration.

Benefits

  • Matches natural tooth color for a virtually invisible repair.

  • Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure.

  • Bonds strongly to the tooth, reducing risk of leakage.

The Procedure

After removing the decayed portion of the tooth, Dr. Johnson will place layers of composite resin and cure them with a special light. The filling is then shaped and polished for a smooth finish.

FAQ
