Tooth-Colored Fillings

Modern, Natural-Looking Cavity Repair

At Bristol Dental Group, we use durable, tooth-colored materials to treat cavities and restore teeth — comfortably, conservatively, and beautifully. Our composite fillings blend seamlessly with your smile and help prevent further decay.  

What Is a Dental Filling?  

A filling is used to repair a tooth damaged by decay (a cavity) or minor fractures. We remove the damaged portion and fill the space with a material that restores strength, shape, and appearance.

Why Choose Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Unlike old metal (amalgam) fillings, composite resin:

✔️ Matches your natural tooth shade
✔️ Bonds directly to tooth structure
✔️ Requires less drilling
✔️ Contains no mercury
✔️ Works for both front and back teeth
✔️ Can be placed in a single visit    

We also offer replacements for old metal fillings for a healthier, more aesthetic smile.  

Common Reasons for Fillings

- Tooth decay / cavities
- Chipped or worn-down teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Minor fractures
- Cosmetic reshapin  

What to Expect  
1. Digital Exam
We use low-radiation X-rays and intraoral cameras to detect cavities early — even small, hidden ones.
2. Gentle Numbing
Local anesthesia ensures a pain-free experience.
3. Tooth Prep & Filling Placement
Decay is removed, and the tooth is filled and shaped with composite material. A curing light hardens it instantly.
4. Final Polish & Bite Check
We ensure your bite feels natural and the filling blends beautifully.
