Tooth Colored Fillings

Tooth Colored Fillings

Tooth colored fillings are a great way to create a pleasing, more natural smile. They are both aesthetic and functional.

A tooth colored filling is commonly used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay or cracks. Dr. Nguyen or Dr. Tran will remove the decayed or affected portion of the tooth and then fill it with a composite that matches your tooth’s color. Your filling will be designed to match your teeth, reviving the natural strength, wear, and function of the tooth. Tooth colored fillings are actually bonded to the remaining tooth structure compared to silver/amalgam restorations, which are “locked” into the tooth structure.
