What Are the Benefits of Tooth-colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings offer many benefits. The resin we use to fill cavities chemically bonds to the structure of your teeth to provide additional strength. We also use the resin in cosmetic dental bonding procedures. This allows us to repair chipped, cracked or worn teeth, and to reshape teeth for cosmetic enhancement.
Tooth-colored fillings offer a more conservative restoration compared to metal fillings. Generally, they require less of your natural tooth to be removed during the procedure, allowing you to preserve more of your natural tooth structure. Because they contain no metals, tooth-colored fillings are safe for patients of all ages.
