Esthetic Composite Fillings

Beautiful Life-Like Restorations

Dental Restorations (Tooth Colored Fillings)

We offer high-quality tooth-colored fillings to restore the health and appearance of your teeth. These fillings, also known as composite and glass ionomer restorations, blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for cavities and minor damage

Types of Tooth-Colored Fillings:

  • Composite Resin Fillings: Made from a blend of plastic and fine glass particles, these fillings provide a natural look and strong durability, making them ideal for visible teeth.

  • Glass Ionomer Fillings (e.g., GC Fuji II LC): These fillings release fluoride to help protect teeth from further decay and are often used for non-load-bearing restorations, root surface fillings, and pediatric dentistry.

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings:

  • Natural Appearance: Matches the shade of your natural teeth for a discreet restoration.

  • Durable & Long-Lasting: Composite fillings provide strength for daily chewing, while glass ionomer fillings offer excellent adhesion and fluoride release.

  • Preserves Tooth Structure: Requires less removal of healthy tooth material compared to metal fillings.

  • Mercury-Free & Safe: A biocompatible alternative to traditional amalgam fillings.

  • Versatile Applications: Suitable for treating cavities, small chips, root surface caries, and minor cosmetic enhancements.

The Filling Process:

  1. Examination & Diagnosis: We assess the tooth and determine the most suitable filling material.

  2. Tooth Preparation: The affected area is carefully cleaned, and decay is removed.

  3. Filling Placement: The chosen material (composite or glass ionomer) is applied and hardened using a curing light if necessary.

  4. Shaping & Polishing: We shape the filling to match your bite and polish it for a smooth finish.
