Tooth-Colored Fillings
A composite resin restoration that blends seamlessly with natural tooth color while repairing decay or damage.
What is it
A tooth-matched composite resin material bonded directly into a cavity to restore the tooth's structure and function while blending with surrounding enamel.
How it works
Decay is removed, and composite resin matched to the tooth's color is applied in layers, hardened with a curing light, and shaped to blend seamlessly.
How it helps
Repairs cavities with a restoration that blends naturally with the tooth, restoring function and appearance.
