Tooth Colored Dental Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a type of dental restoration used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay or minor fractures. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, tooth-colored fillings are made from a composite resin material that can be matched to the natural color of the tooth, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking restoration. The composite resin is carefully applied to the affected area, shaped, and then hardened with a special curing light. The result is a durable filling that blends in with the surrounding tooth structure, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing solution for dental restorations.
What are the benefits of tooth colored fillings?
These are fur of the main benefits to choosing tooth-colored fillings over traditional amalgam fillings. Overall, tooth-colored fillings offer an attractive, durable, and conservative solution for restoring decayed or damaged teeth.
Tooth-colored fillings look more like your natural tooth since they can be color-matched to the existing teeth.
Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, providing additional support and strength to the tooth. This bonding process also helps to preserve more of the natural tooth structure.
Tooth-colored fillings are mercury-free which makes them a safer and more biocompatible option.
Composite fillings are less sensitive to temperature changes compared to amalgam (metal) fillings, reducing the risk of tooth sensitivity or discomfort.
