Composite resins, or tooth-colored fillings, are restorations that repair and provide durability and resistance to fracture in small to mid-sized cavities that withstand moderate chewing pressure. These restorations can be used on either the front or the back teeth, and offer an aesthetic choice for people desiring natural-looking smiles.

Tooth-colored restorations play an important role in maintaining or restoring the health and beauty of your smile. They are commonly used to fill cavities, repair chipped or broken teeth, or to replace silver fillings.

Tooth-colored restorations match the color of your teeth, meaning they do not interfere with your smile. They are designed to look and feel just like your natural tooth enamel. Tooth-colored restorations have been shown to be more durable and resistant to wear and tear than their silver counterparts. We bond your tooth-colored restorations directly to your teeth, which helps fortify your tooth structure and prevents any future decay or damage.

Since the resin used in tooth-colored restorations contains fluoride, this can help prevent tooth decay from developing. These restorations do not require placement at the gumline, which is healthier for your gums!

We will start with applying a local anesthetic to numb the area for your comfort. We will then remove the decay, and clean and sterilize the area. We will place the tooth-colored filling in the cavity and will adjust it as needed for your comfort. The last step is polishing the restoration, leaving you with a bright and healthy smile.
