Tooth-Colored Fillings

A tooth-colored filling repairs a tooth affected by decay or a small fracture with composite resin matched to the tooth's shade.

The damaged part is removed, and the filling is shaped to restore the tooth's form and bite.

When a filling is not enough

If a large part of the tooth has been lost, a filling may not hold up well, and a crown may be suggested instead. We explain why before you decide.

Questions patients ask

Can old metal fillings be replaced?

Whether replacing one makes sense is decided at the exam, for example when there is decay around it or a crack. We explain the reasons for and against.
