Tooth-colored fillings, also called “composite resin fillings” or "white fillings,” are made from a blend of durable ceramic and plastics. This composite resin material imitates natural tooth enamel in shade and translucency, making them the ideal option for those who desire a more natural-looking smile.
Composite fillings are a welcome alternative to metal and silver amalgam fillings because they seamlessly blend in with a person's natural smile. Tooth-colored fillings are durable and resistant to fractures in small or midsize fillings. They also withstand moderate pressure from consistent chewing forces, and your dentist can place them on the back or front teeth.
The process of placing a composite filling is quick and painless. We offer a local anesthetic to numb any pain, remove unhealthy tissue from the tooth, and apply and harden the composite resin to the tooth in layers for maximum strength. Finally, we polish and reshape the tooth to ensure a perfect result.
