Tooth-Coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are dental restorations used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay or minor damage. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, tooth-coloured fillings are made from a mixture of resin and finely ground glass particles, resulting in a natural-looking restoration that closely matches the color of the surrounding teeth.

"The best doctor Dr. Jayshree Hegde in the town. If you are looking for the right treatment with all the advanced tools & treatment techniques, this is the place. It's super hygienic as well."
"Took an appointment here after a couple of disappointing diagnoses at other clinics. The front desk staff were very courteous at the time of registration. The doctor so patiently heard my concern and my previous diagnosis. Then I took an x-ray and reviewed the issue. I was a bit nervous but the doc so nicely explained the issue with my tooth and gave a very realistic treatment of cleaning and doing a permanent filling. I'm now able to comfortably chew and eat. Thank you so much!"
Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a type of dental restoration used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or minor fractures. These fillings are made from a mixture of tooth-coloured plastic and glass materials, providing a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Some benefits of tooth-coloured fillings include their natural appearance, ability to bond directly to the tooth, and preservation of healthy tooth structure.
The process of placing tooth-coloured fillings typically involves removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, cleaning the area, and applying the composite material in layers. Each layer is hardened with a special curing light before shaping and polishing the filling to match the natural contours of the tooth.
With proper care and maintenance, tooth-coloured fillings can be highly durable and long-lasting. Our dentist will evaluate your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate type of filling for your situation.
To maintain the longevity of your tooth-coloured fillings, it's essential to practice good oral hygiene habits, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and attending regular dental check-ups. Avoid chewing hard objects or biting down on extremely sticky foods that could damage the fillings
Yes, tooth-coloured fillings are considered safe and have been widely used in dentistry for many years. They are free of mercury and other potentially harmful materials, making them a safe and effective option for restoring teeth.
