What are the benefits of tooth-colored fillings?

  • Aesthetic Appeal: They blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a virtually invisible restoration.
  • Durability: Modern composites are strong and withstand daily chewing forces.
  • Preservation of Tooth Structure: Less removal of healthy tooth material compared to traditional fillings.
  • Bonding Strength: Adheres directly to the tooth, providing added support.
  • Versatility: Effective for repairing cavities, chips, and cracks.
  • Mercury-Free: A safer, more environmentally friendly alternative to amalgam fillings.

How long do composite dental fillings last?

Composite dental fillings typically last 5 to 10 years, depending on factors like the size of the filling, oral hygiene habits, and chewing pressures. Regular dental check-ups help ensure their longevity, as our team can monitor wear and recommend replacements if necessary. While composite fillings are durable, avoiding habits like nail-biting or chewing on ice can help extend their lifespan. With proper care, they remain a reliable and attractive solution for repairing cavities or minor tooth damage.

Will a tooth-colored filling really look natural?

Yes, tooth-colored fillings are designed to look completely natural. Made from composite resin, they are carefully matched to the color, texture, and translucency of your surrounding teeth. Once placed and polished, the filling blends seamlessly, making it nearly impossible to distinguish from the rest of your tooth. Whether it’s a front or back tooth, the result is a restoration that maintains the appearance of your natural smile while effectively addressing cavities or minor imperfections.
