Repair Cavities with Natural-Looking Results

When it comes to restoring teeth affected by decay or minor damage, tooth-colored fillings offer a strong, seamless solution. At Pristine Dental and Orthodontics, we use advanced composite materials that match the natural shade of your enamel—so your fillings are virtually invisible and your smile stays beautiful and strong.

What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Tooth-colored fillings, also called composite fillings, are made of a durable resin material that bonds directly to your tooth. They’re designed to repair areas affected by cavities, chips, or wear, while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, composites are metal-free and blend flawlessly with your surrounding teeth.

When Is a Filling Needed?

You may need a filling if you have:

• A cavity caused by tooth decay
• A chipped or worn tooth
• An old filling that needs replacement
• Sensitivity to sweets or cold

We’ll assess the affected area and recommend the most effective treatment—always with your comfort and aesthetics in mind.

The Filling Process: Quick, Comfortable, and Precise

Step 1: Diagnosis and Preparation

We start with an exam and digital X-rays to detect decay or damage. Once confirmed, the area is gently numbed for your comfort.

Step 2: Removing the Decay

The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is carefully removed, preserving as much healthy enamel as possible.

Step 3: Placement of Composite Material

We apply the tooth-colored composite in layers, shaping and hardening each layer with a special curing light to ensure a snug fit and natural contour.

Step 4: Final Polish and Bite Check

Your filling is polished for a smooth, natural finish, and we make sure your bite feels just right.

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

• Natural appearance—no silver or dark spots
• Durable and long-lasting with proper care
• Less tooth structure removed compared to metal fillings
• Safe and mercury-free
• Bond directly to the tooth, strengthening it
