​“Tooth Colored” Composite Restorations

Dental fillings have been used for hundreds of years to restore decayed or damaged teeth. The dentist prepares the tooth and removes the decay. A filling material is placed to stop the spread of bacteria and strengthen the tooth. 

Thanks to advancements in dental technologies, the filling materials have substantially improved. Traditionally, fillings have been silver amalgam. Today, other options exist. Tooth-colored fillings made of a composite resin are durable and produce a natural-looking result.
