Tooth-colored fillings are a modern solution for repairing cavities and minor tooth damage while maintaining a natural appearance. At Tilley Family Dentistry, we use durable, tooth-colored materials to restore strength, function, and appearance without the noticeable look of traditional metal fillings.
These restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and help preserve more of your healthy tooth structure.
Tooth-colored fillings are commonly used to treat cavities caused by tooth decay, as well as minor chips or worn areas of teeth. They are suitable for both front and back teeth and can often replace older metal fillings.
You may need a filling if you experience:
Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold
Pain when chewing
Visible holes or dark spots on teeth
Damage detected during a dental exam
Tooth-colored fillings offer both functional and cosmetic advantages over traditional materials.
Benefits include:
Getting a tooth-colored filling is a straightforward and comfortable procedure. Our team prioritizes your comfort throughout treatment.
The process typically includes:
Gently numbing the area
Removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth
Cleaning and preparing the tooth
Placing and shaping the tooth-colored material
Hardening and polishing the filling
With proper oral hygiene and routine dental visits, tooth-colored fillings can last for many years. Regular exams allow us to monitor restorations and address wear or concerns early.
