What Are Tooth-Coloured Fillings?

Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite resin fillings, are a modern solution for restoring cavities in a way that’s both functional and aesthetic. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, which can be noticeable, composite fillings are carefully matched to the colour of your natural teeth.

This makes them perfect for visible areas, like the front teeth, where you want your smile to look as natural as possible.

Signs You Might Need a Filling

If you have a cavity or tooth decay, it’s important to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Symptoms that may indicate the need for a filling include:

Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks
Toothache or discomfort when chewing
Visible holes or dark spots in your teeth
Discomfort in a specific tooth

Caring for Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings are durable, but it’s still important to care for them properly to maximize their lifespan. Here are a few tips:

Maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine, including brushing and flossing twice a day
Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails
Visit Sunshine Dental for regular checkups to check that your fillings and teeth are healthy

The Process of Getting a Tooth-Coloured Filling

Getting a tooth-coloured filling is a straightforward and minimally invasive procedure:

Examination: Your dentist will assess the tooth and determine if a filling is needed.
Preparation: The decayed area of the tooth is removed, and the area is cleaned.
Placement: The composite material is carefully applied to the cavity in layers for a smooth, natural-looking result.
Shaping and curing: Once the filling is in place, it’s shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth and hardened with a special light.
Finishing touches: After the filling is set, your dentist will polish the area to provide a smooth, comfortable bite.

Why Choose Tooth-Coloured Fillings?

Here are just a few reasons why tooth-coloured fillings can be an excellent option for restoring your teeth:

Aesthetic appeal: The composite material is colour-matched to your natural teeth, providing a smooth and seamless result.
Durability: Tooth-coloured fillings are strong and durable, providing long-lasting results for small to medium cavities.
Preserve more tooth structure: Composite fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings, meaning more of your natural tooth can be preserved.
Versatile: Ideal for both front and back teeth, composite fillings can be used in a variety of areas for a consistent, natural look.
