Understand your options

A repair that considers the tooth.

Tooth-colored composite fillings can be used to repair teeth while blending with their appearance. Material choice also depends on the location and size of the repair.

Fillings require ongoing care and may need replacement over time. Ask about the options suitable for your tooth, including maintenance and cost.

Is a tooth-colored filling always the right choice?

No single material fits every situation. Your dentist can explain options based on the repair and chewing demands.

Do fillings last forever?

No. Dental restorations can wear or need replacement, so ongoing care and examinations remain important.
