Composite fillings, commonly known as tooth-colored or white fillings, are made of a metal-free composite resin. The resin chemically bonds with the structure of your tooth to create a strong restoration without removing or reshaping the enamel underneath. Composite fillings are preferred for their natural appearance because they blend in with the rest of your surrounding teeth.
Our doctor also uses composite resin fillings to repair damaged teeth and correct other dental flaws, such as:
Composite fillings are recommended for your visible teeth (the teeth that show when you smile) but they can also be used on the back teeth. The resin is strong enough to withstand chewing forces. However, if you have significant tooth decay or trauma, our dentist may recommend a porcelain crown to fully seal the tooth.
