Tooth-Colored Filling
When
considering tooth fillings, one
of the options available are
composite (tooth colored)
fillings that are made from
extremely durable plastics that
can mimic very closely the color
and appearance of natural teeth.
Because the composite fillings
are tooth-colored, they look
more natural and are much less
noticeable than other filling
materials.
A composite
filling is often used to fix
cracks, chips, decay, etc. The
affected portion of the tooth is
removed and then filled with a
tooth colored composite filling.
Because these tooth colored
fillings are bonded in there is
often times much less
preparation of the tooth
necessary leaving more natural,
healthy tooth structure intact
for better long term strength.
Speak with one of our doctors to find out which kind of filling is
best for you.
