What is a Tooth-Colored Filling?
Tooth-colored fillings go by different names, such as white fillings or composite fillings. This is because our fillings can be shaded to match the natural color of your surrounding tooth. Made from a combination of high-quality dental glass-ceramic and plastics, tooth-colored fillings contain no metal.
What are the Benefits of Tooth-colored Fillings?
Compared to traditional silver fillings, tooth-colored restorations offer a variety of benefits, such as:
- Your filling will blend in with the rest of your smile for a natural-looking restoration
- The filling material chemically bonds to your tooth structure to support your restoration
- Tooth-colored fillings require less tooth removal, allowing you to keep more of your natural tooth structure
- The material is very versatile and can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic dental flaws, such as worn down enamel, discolorations, chips, and cracks
- Because they contain no metal, tooth-colored fillings won’t discolor your teeth
How Long Do Dental Fillings Last?
With good at-home care and regular checkups, your fillings will last 5-10 years before needing to be repaired or replaced. The resin may chip over time, so be sure to visit our office for repairs if you experience any issues with your filling.
