What is a tooth colored filling/white filling?

A composite resin is a tooth-colored plastic mixture filled with glass (silicon dioxide). Composites are not only used to restore decayed areas, but are also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth.


Procedure

Composite fillings are usually placed in one appointment. While the tooth is numb, your dentist will remove decay as necessary. The space will then be thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared before the new filling is placed. If the decay was near the nerve of the tooth, a special medication will be applied for added protection. The composite filling will then be precisely placed, shaped, and polished, restoring your tooth to its original shape and function. It is normal to experience sensitivity to hot and cold when composite fillings are first placed, however this will subside shortly after your tooth acclimates to the new filling.You will be given care instructions at the conclusion of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new fillings.

All of my family and extended family go to Highland Family Dental for the friendly, quality service. They take the time to get to know our family, who is married to who, and it really feels like they know our stories and care about us as people and community members, not just as patients.

After not having a filling procedure performed for 20+ years, I was extremely nervous about getting a past one replaced. Dr. Cho's entire staff, including Dr. Cho, made me feel very comfortable about the entire process. Great experience, as far as fillings can go. Thank you!
