Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings are a type of dental restoration used to repair and treat tooth decay and damage. Used to fill in cracks, fractures and fissures, tooth-colored fillings bond to your teeth to restore the health and function of your smile. Tooth-colored fillings are made from special resins and porcelains that can be matched to your natural tooth color. At our dental office, we use tooth-colored fillings because they are aesthetically pleasing and safer for your smile than outdated amalgam (metal) fillings.

To place a tooth-colored filling in Germantown, Tennessee, our knowledgeable dentist will:

• Clean and dry the tooth
• Apply local anesthesia if necessary
• Remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth
• Prepare the tooth to receive the filling by cleaning it again
• Place, shape and polish the dental filling

Our skilled dental team makes sure each tooth-colored filling fits with your natural bite for optimal function and comfort. Tooth-colored fillings may be suggested by Dr. Brown as part of your treatment plant to treat decayed, chipped, cracked or worn teeth.
