Preparation And Application

If tooth-colored fillings are the recommended treatment, our dental team will gently remove the tooth's decayed or damaged portion. The area is then cleaned and prepared for the filling. Next, our dentist skillfully applies the composite resin in layers, carefully shaping and sculpting it to match the natural contours of the tooth.

Bonding And Polishing

Once the filling material is applied, a special light hardens and bonds it securely to the tooth. Our dentist will then meticulously shape and polish the filling, ensuring a comfortable bite and a seamless finish.

Tooth-Colored Filling Options For Children

Composite Resin Fillings

Composite resin is a popular choice for tooth-colored fillings in children. This versatile material is made of fine glass particles and a tooth-colored resin. It can be precisely color-matched to your child's natural tooth shade, ensuring a seamless and virtually invisible restoration. In addition, composite resin fillings are durable, aesthetically pleasing, and bond securely to the tooth structure.
