Tooth Colored Fillings
Natural-Looking Repair for Your Smile
Cavities happen—but fixing them shouldn’t compromise the look of your smile. At Empower Your Smile, we offer beautiful, durable tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Whether you’re treating new decay or replacing old metal fillings, we make the process smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible.
What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Also known as composite fillings, tooth-colored fillings are made from a custom-blended resin material that matches the natural shade of your tooth. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, composite fillings preserve the aesthetics of your smile while offering strong, long-lasting results.
They’re ideal for repairing:
-
Cavities and small areas of decay
-
Cracks, chips, or worn teeth
-
Gaps or uneven edges (in some cosmetic cases)
Why Choose Composite Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings aren’t just about looks—they also offer key clinical advantages:
-
Seamless Appearance: Matches your tooth shade for a flawless finish.
-
Strong Bonding: Adheres directly to the enamel for added strength.
-
Minimally Invasive: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure.
-
Mercury-Free: A safer, modern alternative to metal fillings.
We carefully sculpt and polish each filling so it feels natural and looks undetectable.
The Tooth Filling Process
Getting a composite filling is quick, comfortable, and performed under local anesthesia (if needed). Here’s how it works:
-
Decay Removal: We gently remove any decay and clean the area.
-
Color Matching: We select a resin shade that blends with your tooth.
-
Layered Application: The composite is applied in layers, then hardened with a special light.
-
Shaping & Polishing: We shape the filling to fit your bite and polish it until it’s smooth and natural.
Most patients are in and out in under an hour—no downtime required.
How Long Do Tooth-Colored Fillings Last?
With proper care, composite fillings can last 7–10 years or longer. Daily brushing and flossing, along with regular dental visits, help preserve their integrity and appearance.
If you clench or grind your teeth, we may recommend a night guard to extend the life of your restorations.
