Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite resin fillings, are a popular choice for repairing cavities and restoring the appearance of teeth. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, which are metallic and noticeable, tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with the natural color of the teeth, making them virtually invisible. The procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the cavity with a composite resin material that matches the tooth’s color. This material is then hardened using a special light, ensuring a strong and durable restoration. Tooth-colored fillings offer several advantages, including improved aesthetics, reduced sensitivity, and the ability to bond directly to the tooth structure for added strength. They are commonly used for fillings in visible areas of the mouth, such as the front teeth, where appearance is a primary concern. Regular dental check-ups are important to monitor the condition of the fillings and ensure optimal oral health.
