Tooth Colored Fillings

Today's tooth-colored invisible fillings can give you more than just a pretty face - they can strengthen your teeth, seal out bacteria, and decrease tooth sensitivity to hot and cold. Attractive, invisible fillings called inlays can be made from porcelain, cast glass or composite resin. Comparable to the strength and beauty of natural teeth, these can be colored and formed to fit so well that you can hardly detect them.

What is a dental filling?

A dental filling is a type of restorative dentistry treatment used to repair minimal tooth fractures, tooth decay or otherwise damaged surfaces of the teeth. Dental filling materials, which include composite, or porcelain, may be used to even out tooth surfaces for better biting or chewing.

Enamel loss is a common component of tooth decay, and may result in tooth sensitivity. In many cases, tooth sensitivity caused by enamel loss will be significantly improved or completely eliminated once an appropriate dental filling material is placed.
