What is Tooth Colored Filling
Here's How Crowns and Bridge Treatment Works
- Consultation: Patients undergo a consultation with a dental professional to assess the extent of tooth damage and discuss treatment options.
- Preparation: The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed, and the remaining tooth structure is cleaned and prepared for the filling.
- Impressions: The dentist selects a shade of composite resin that closely matches the natural color of the patient's teeth for optimal aesthetic results.
- Layering: The composite resin material is applied in layers to the prepared tooth and shaped to restore its natural form and function.
- Curing: Each layer of the filling material is hardened using a special curing light, bonding it securely to the tooth structure.
- Final Shaping and Polishing: Once the filling is in place, the dentist shapes and polishes it to ensure a smooth and natural-looking restoration.

- Versatility: Tooth-colored fillings can be used to repair teeth in both the front and back of the mouth, restoring function and appearance.
