What Are the Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings?

May 5, 2023

Filed under: Uncategorized — delreydds @ 6:45 pm

A tooth-colored filling is a restorative dentistry treatment that repairs a tooth damaged by decay. At Del Rey Dental, the filling material is placed directly into the damaged tooth and shaped to shine just like a natural, healthy tooth. Before placing the filling into the tooth, we will first carefully remove the decayed enamel to ensure it does not deteriorate further. Then, the composite resin is cured with a special light to harden the material. The light allows us to fill the cavity without removing too much of the healthy part of the tooth. After the tooth has been restored, the filling will blend in with the surrounding teeth, making for a beautiful smile!
