What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
A tooth-colored filling consists of composite resin, a biocompatible substance that can closely match the appearance of natural tooth enamel. By applying this material to your tooth, we can repair the areas that have been damaged by decay. Because the composite resin will be shaded to match your smile, it will blend in seamlessly, making it look like a natural part of the tooth.
The Process of Getting a Tooth-Colored Filling
Before you can receive a filling, we’ll need to properly prepare the tooth in question. The decayed or damaged areas will be carefully removed, and a weak acid will be used to open the pores in your enamel so the composite resin can bond with it more easily. Bear in mind that your mouth will be numbed at the start of this process, so you won’t have to worry about discomfort.
Once your tooth is ready, we can apply the composite resin to the enamel in order to replace the portion that was lost. The material will be very carefully sculpted so that it’s the appropriate shape and size. Then it will be hardened in a matter of seconds with a special light.
Our team will quickly check to make sure that your new filling does not have an adverse effect on your bite, and we’ll make any adjustments that might be necessary. Finally, we’ll smooth out your tooth and polish it so that you can show off your new smile with full confidence.
