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.
