Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings – Natural-Looking Cavity Treatment
When a small to mid-sized cavity is detected during your dental exam—either through X-rays or visual inspection—Dr. Culler may recommend a composite filling to restore the tooth.
Tooth-colored composite fillings are a safe, durable, and aesthetic option for treating decay. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them ideal for both front and back teeth.
White Composite Fillings
During the procedure, Dr. Culler will gently and conservatively remove the decayed portion of the tooth, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. The cavity is then filled with a high-quality white composite resin, which is carefully matched to the shade of your tooth and bonded directly to the enamel for a secure, long-lasting fit.
Benefits of composite fillings include:
- Natural, tooth-colored appearance
- Strong bond to tooth structure
- Minimal removal of healthy tooth material
- Resistance to fracture and wear
- Mercury-free and metal-free
