Cosmetic / Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings are designed to blend with natural teeth while repairing cavities, worn areas, small chips or gaps. Composite materials bond to the tooth and can preserve more healthy tooth structure in suitable cases.

Common uses

  • Treating dental cavities
  • Replacing selected old or unsightly fillings after evaluation
  • Repairing small chips, cracks or gaps
  • Improving the appearance of minor tooth defects

Material options

  • Composite resin is available in shades that can be matched to natural teeth
  • Glass ionomer materials may be suitable in selected situations and can release fluoride
  • Larger or heavily damaged teeth may need an indirect restoration such as an inlay, onlay or crown instead of a filling

What to expect

  • The affected area is examined and the suitable restoration is selected
  • Decay or damaged material is removed conservatively
  • The filling is placed, shaped, polished and the bite is checked
The exact procedure, suitability, number of visits and healing time vary from patient to patient and can only be confirmed after a clinical examination.
