Tooth Colored Fillings

Having a cavity treated with a tooth-colored filling is a very simple and quick process. Once our team has appropriately numbed the area of your mouth that will be treated to ensure your comfort, we'll carefully remove any damaged portions of the tooth in question and thoroughly clean what's remaining. Then, the high-quality composite resin material is placed over the tooth and precisely sculpted for a seamlessly natural appearance. Finally, a special light hardens it in place.

Valuable Benefits

The BPA-free composite resin material used in tooth-colored fillings can be chosen to perfectly match the natural shade of your enamel. After your procedure, no one but you and our San Antonio dental team will know you've undergone treatment at all.

While traditional amalgam fillings required a certain amount of tooth structure to be removed before placement, composite fillings are much more flexible, and Dr. Pankaj Patel, Dr. Prema Patel, Dr. Pathik Patel, and Dr.Khyati Patel will be sure to preserve as much as your natural tooth as possible.

Tooth-colored fillings won't expand and contract when exposed to metal, resulting in a stronger tooth overall and less sensitivity.

Tooth-colored fillings can actually be alternatively used as bonding agent to repair cracks and fractures, even if there's no decay in the area.
