Tooth Coloured Fillings

The substance used in tooth-colored fillings is synthetic resin made of a resin-based compound and a synthetic silica filler. Compositions of the materials, however, vary significantly from manufacturer to manufacturer.

In the procedure, your gums and teeth may be anesthetized for accessibility and moisture control. Once numb, a dental drill will be used to remove the decayed part of the tooth. The drilling process is relatively less invasive as compared to amalgam fillings, and the whole process can be completed in a single sitting. 

After that, the composite resin will be molded to the tooth in layers and a hand-held, blue light will be used to cure it and to accelerate the drying process. This step of the procedure lasts less than a minute. Before the procedure is complete, your new composite, tooth-colored filling will be shaped and polished, for the perfect look.

Tooth-colored fillings dry faster than other types of fillings. Most dentists use a composite restoration to treat the front teeth, as it gives a natural appearance, but advancements have made it possible to use composite fillings on the molars, which receive the most wear.
