Tooth Colored Fillings

Tooth Colored Fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a popular and effective alternative to traditional metal amalgam fillings. These fillings are made from a combination of plastic and ceramic materials, creating a restoration that not only looks natural but is also durable and safe. Unlike metal fillings, tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them an ideal choice for both functional and aesthetic purposes. Our practice in Bethlehem, PA, specializes in these modern dental solutions, ensuring that your smile is both healthy and beautiful.

The process of receiving tooth-colored fillings begins with the removal of the decayed portion of the tooth. After the area is cleaned, the dentist applies the composite material in layers, molding and shaping it to perfectly fit the contours of your tooth. Each layer is hardened using a special light, ensuring a durable and long-lasting restoration. Finally, the filling is polished to match the sheen of your natural teeth. This meticulous process ensures that the filling is not only functional but also visually indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth.
