A tooth-colored filling is a restoration made from a durable composite resin material that is matched to the natural color of your child’s tooth. It is used to repair teeth affected by small to moderate cavities or minor fractures while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

The dentist will carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth and clean the area. A tooth-colored filling material is then placed in layers, contoured to resemble the surrounding tooth and set with a special curing light. Finally, the filling is polished and adjusted to ensure your child’s bite feels comfortable.
