Colored Tooth Fillings

Miller Pediatric Dentistry

Having tooth fillings that have your natural tooth color looks aesthetically pleasing. When you wear the tooth-colored fillings, no one will be able to spot out the difference. Tooth color restorations are safe, reliable, and last for really long. When you decide to go for these fillings, the dentist will be able to save more of the tooth structure.

Tooth-colored filling is a blend that consists of plastic resins and silica fillers. The best part of using these fillings is that they can make the teeth much stronger. You will need to fill broken or chipped teeth with the fillings, and that will make you speak and eat your food with ease.

The process

The process of filling is not at all complicated. Your dentist will first put local anesthesia to numb the area where the process will occur. Next, the tooth gets prepared by removing the decayed material to get it ready for the restoration process. The filling material will then get inserted to the teeth, and finally, the process will be over once it gets bonded to your teeth.

Composite resins are very useful for small to medium-sized restorations. It encompasses the most common types of fillings. They are not only durable but fracture-resistant and can withstand your chewing pressure. The process can get accomplished in one or two visits, depending on the extent of tooth damage.
