What are Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Composite resin is used to make tooth-colored fillings. This material matches the shade of your natural teeth. These fillings are a great alternative to traditional amalgam fillings. They blend seamlessly with the smile and provide a durable, aesthetically pleasing dental restoration.

The Benefits of Using Tooth-Colored Fillings

Natural Appearance: Tooth-colored fillings are crafted to match your tooth's natural color, providing a seamless look. Your smile will remain bright and uniform without dark or silver fillings. No one will be able to tell that you have had dental work, whether you are laughing or talking.

Durable: Composite fillings are a popular and effective dental treatment option for restoring decayed or damaged teeth. These fillings are made of a mixture of plastic and glass, which makes them highly durable and long-lasting. When properly taken care of through regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices, composite fillings can withstand the test of time and provide a strong, natural-looking restoration. In addition, composite fillings are designed to match the color of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible in your mouth. This aesthetic benefit can provide you with a restored smile that looks and feels just like your own teeth. So, composite fillings may be the right choice if you're looking for a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution to dental decay or damage.

Versatile Use: Dental fillings are used not only for treating cavities but also an excellent solution for fixing chipped teeth, filling gaps, and addressing cosmetic concerns. Their versatility makes them a popular choice for enhancing the appearance of your smile. Using the best materials available, a BPA-free composite resin, dental fillings can be precisely matched to your natural teeth' color and texture, resulting in a seamless, natural-looking smile.

Bonding Strength: Contrary to traditional amalgam fillings made of silver, tooth-colored fillings are bonded directly to the tooth. This bonding gives extra support to your tooth structure. It reduces the risk of further damage and increases the strength of the restoration.

The Tooth-Colored Filling Process

Diagnosis & Preparation:

Dr. Lyuba Taft will examine your teeth thoroughly during your first appointment to determine whether a tooth-colored filling is right for you. A visual inspection or dental X-rays may be required to determine the extent of decay or damage. Dr. Taft will use a local anesthetic on the affected area to ensure comfort. She will carefully remove any damaged or decayed parts of the tooth and shape it to prepare it for filling.
Filling out the Application:

Composite resin is carefully chosen to match your natural teeth color. It is applied in layers over the damaged or prepared area. Each layer is hardened in seconds using a blue light. This layering allows Dr. Taft to build a filling that closely mimics the contours and transparency of your teeth, ensuring that it blends seamlessly with your surrounding tooth.
Shaping & Polishing:

Dr. Taft will then carefully sculpt the filling to match the natural anatomy of your teeth. This ensures the filling is comfortable and works properly in your bite. The filling will be polished to create an even surface that looks natural and resists staining. The result is an aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, and durable restoration that restores the function and form of your smile.
