At The Orchid Dental Clinic, we offer high-quality tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These fillings are designed to restore the function and appearance of your teeth while maintaining a natural look.

What are Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a resin material that matches the color of your natural teeth. They are used to fill cavities and repair damage caused by tooth decay or trauma. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite fillings are less noticeable and provide a more aesthetically pleasing result.

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

Choosing tooth-colored fillings offers several advantages:

1. Natural Appearance: The resin material used in tooth-colored fillings blends with the natural color of your teeth, making them less noticeable.

2. Durability: Composite fillings are durable and can withstand normal chewing forces while maintaining their appearance.

3. Minimal Tooth Removal: The process of applying composite fillings often requires less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to traditional metal fillings.

4. Improved Bonding: Composite fillings adhere directly to the tooth structure, providing additional support and strength to the tooth.

The Filling Procedure

The process of applying tooth-colored fillings is straightforward:

1. Preparation: The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed and the cavity is cleaned.

2. Application: The composite resin is applied in layers and shaped to match the natural contours of the tooth.

3. Curing: A special light is used to harden the resin material.

4. Polishing: The filling is polished to match the shine of the surrounding teeth and ensure a smooth finish.
