Tooth-Coloured Fillings at River Rock Dental
WHAT ARE TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS?
Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a durable resin material that matches the shade of your natural teeth. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite fillings offer a discreet and natural appearance while effectively restoring tooth function.
The Tooth-Coloured Filling Procedure
​1.Examination and Diagnosis
Our team will examine your teeth, take X-rays if necessary, and determine the extent of the damage or decay.
​
2.Removing Decay
The affected area will be carefully cleaned, and any decay will be removed to prepare the tooth.
​
2.Placing the Composite Material
​The composite resin will be applied in layers, shaped to fit your tooth, and hardened using a special curing light.
​
3.Shaping and Polishing
The filling is smoothed and polished to ensure it blends perfectly with your tooth and feels natural when you bite.
