Tooth-colored fillings, also called dental cavity fillings, are used to restore teeth damaged by cavities. The Fillings are made of composite resins (plastics) that contain fine glass particles. They are available in various shades to closely match the color of your natural teeth. Tooth-colored fillings are sometimes referred to as white fillings or white composite fillings. Tooth-colored fillings bonds directly to the tooth structure and hardens quickly, so they can be placed in a single visit. Once in place, they help to strengthen and support the remaining tooth structure and prevent further tooth decay. If you have a cavity, our dentist will recommend the best type of filling for you based on the size and location of the cavity, your dental insurance coverage, and your personal preference.
