What are
Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite resin fillings, are used to repair teeth affected by cavities, cracks, or minor fractures. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, tooth-colored options match the natural shade of your teeth—offering both strength and discretion.
They bond directly to the tooth structure and are mercury-free, making them a modern, biocompatible choice for lasting restorations.
