Tooth-colored fillings are natural-looking materials used to repair cavities in children’s teeth. They blend in seamlessly with their smile and restore function while protecting against future decay.
We clean out the cavity and apply a tooth-colored composite material that bonds to the tooth. It’s shaped and hardened with a special light, restoring function and appearance while protecting the tooth from further decay.
Tooth-colored fillings restore function and prevent decay from spreading while blending seamlessly with your child’s natural teeth. They protect their smile and maintain confidence, allowing kids to eat, speak, and smile without discomfort or embarrassment.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Fixes cavities with fillings that blend naturally.
Tooth-colored fillings are ideal for children with cavities who need durable, natural-looking restoration. Parents who prefer metal-free, aesthetically pleasing options that blend with their child’s smile should consider these fillings for both baby and permanent teeth.
Tooth-colored fillings are completed in one visit. After numbing the area, the dentist gently removes decay and fills the tooth with a natural-looking material. Kids feel little to no discomfort, and the filling blends perfectly with their smile—restoring health without the look of metal.
Tooth-colored fillings take about 30 to 45 minutes per tooth. The process includes numbing, cleaning out decay, applying the filling, and shaping it to match the tooth. It’s usually completed in one visit, and children return to normal activity soon after.
After tooth-colored fillings, the numbness may last a few hours. Encourage soft foods and monitor chewing to avoid biting the tongue or cheek. These fillings are strong and long-lasting but still require daily brushing and regular dental visits to stay in great shape.
After a tooth-colored filling, your child’s mouth may stay numb for a few hours. Avoid hard, crunchy foods and monitor them to prevent accidental biting of the tongue or cheek. Any soreness should fade quickly, and regular brushing should resume that day.
