Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are designed to blend with your natural teeth, making them a discreet option for restoring teeth affected by decay or minor damage. The composite material can be matched to the shade of your tooth, so the finished restoration is less noticeable when you smile, talk, or laugh.
How Do You Match the Filling to My Tooth?
Before placing the filling, we consider the color and appearance of your natural tooth. We layer and shape the composite material to restore the tooth’s natural contours and function. Once the filling is hardened, we check your bite and polish the restoration for a smooth finish.
Are Tooth-Colored Fillings Strong?
Tooth-colored composite fillings in Redmond can provide durable restoration for many cavities, particularly when the size and location of the filling make composite an appropriate choice. However, no filling lasts forever. Its lifespan depends on factors such as:
- The size of the restoration
- The tooth’s location
- Your bite
- Oral hygiene
- Everyday habits
Regular dental exams allow us to monitor your fillings and the surrounding tooth for signs of wear or new decay.
