Composite Filling Tooth Colored Filling

Tooth Colored Dental Filling

Tooth Colored Filling or Composite fillings have a more natural appearance than other options. The composite material can be customized to match the shade of your tooth, so they’re almost unnoticeable to anyone who glances at your mouth.
 

But what is that tooth-colored material? It’s a mixture of plastic (acrylic) resin that’s reinforced with a powdered glass filler. It’s useful for a variety of dental restorations, including
 

  • fillings

  • veneers

  • inlays

  • crowns
     

Dentists also sometimes use this composite resin material to repair or restore parts of broken or chipped teeth.

When Does One Need Dental Filling?

If you have been avoiding the following conditions and tooth ailments, you must see your dentist for a tooth evaluation and a dental filling.
 

  • A hole in your tooth

  • Dark spots on your teeth

  • Food gets lodged in certain areas of the teeth.

  • A chipped or broken tooth

  • Teeth are extremely sensitive to hot and cold foods and beverages.

  • Single or multiple cavities
     

On ascertaining your case, your dentist will recommend a suitable course of action, most likely a filling in this case.

Benefits of Composite Filling

  • Durable

  • Natural appearance (tooth-colored)

  • Usually can be completed in one visit

  • Resists fracture

  • Can be used to fix minor flaws and larger damage

  • Only short-lived temperature sensitivity after procedure

How Are Composite Fillings Placed?

Composite padding generally requires only one appointment for placement. Your dentist will start by numbing the area, and removing any decay. The space created will also be precisely gutted and prepared, and the stuffing will be placed. A compound filling will also be precisely shaped and polished to restore your tooth to its original shape and function.
 

It's normal to experience increased sensitivity to hot and cold after entering a compound stuffing, but this will subside shortly after your tooth gets used to the new stuffing.
