FAQs
What are natural color fillings made of?
Natural color fillings typically use composite resin, a blend of plastic and fine glass particles. This material can be shaded to match your tooth color, providing a seamless restoration.
Are natural color fillings durable?
Yes, these fillings are quite durable and can withstand normal chewing forces. With proper care, they can last many years before needing replacement.
Is the procedure for placing natural color fillings painful?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable while we restore your tooth.
Can natural color fillings be used for large cavities?
While natural color fillings work well for small to moderate cavities, larger restorations may require crowns or other treatments. Your dentist will recommend the best option for your situation.
Do natural color fillings stain over time?
Composite fillings are resistant to staining, but good oral hygiene helps keep them looking their best. Avoiding excessive consumption of staining foods and drinks can also help maintain their appearance.
