Tooth-Colored Fillings
In Leesburg, FL
What is a Tooth-Colored Filling?
- A tooth-colored filling is a composite resin used to repair and restore teeth affected by decay or damage. These fillings are aesthetically pleasing and can be closely matched to the color of your existing teeth, making them ideal for visible areas.
How Does a Tooth-Colored Filling Work?
- The process involves numbing the tooth, removing decay, cleaning the space, and applying a special medication if the tooth is near the nerve. The composite resin is then placed, shaped, and polished to restore the tooth’s original function and appearance.
