Tooth-colored fillings, often made from composite resin or glass ionomer, are used to restore teeth affected by decay or damage while blending seamlessly with the natural tooth color. Composite resin is a popular choice due to its aesthetic appeal and ability to match the shade of the surrounding teeth. It’s durable and can be shaped to fit the tooth precisely. Glass ionomer fillings release fluoride, which helps protect the tooth from further decay. Both types of tooth-colored fillings are less noticeable than traditional metal fillings, making them ideal for visible areas of the mouth. They also support natural tooth function and appearance.
