What Is a Tooth-Colored Filling?
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite or white fillings, are a popular option among patients and dentists. They can be customized to match your teeth’s natural shade, which comprise of the following materials:
- Porcelain or ceramic: used for exposed tooth areas
- Composite resin: a blend of dental plastic and porcelain
- Glass ionomer: a blend of glass particles and
These materials are made to be translucent and wear-resistant, replicating the features of a natural tooth structure. Tooth-colored fillings can fill cavities, repair chipped or cracked teeth, and restore the overall appearance of your teeth.
After removing the decayed tooth material, our dentist at Moore Dental will place the tooth-colored filling into the cavity. Once applied, it is hardened using a special curing light. This ensures that the filling will effectively bond to the teeth without falling out.

Traditional types of fillings are made of amalgam, also referred to as metal fillings. They combine silver, mercury, tin, zinc, and copper.
