There are many advantages to composite fillings. They are a natural tooth color, which allows them to become nearly invisible. They require smaller preparation, which means less tooth structure is removed. Composites can release fluoride to strengthen the tooth to prevent future decay. In addition, tooth-colored fillings are compatible with dental sealants. A tooth can be filled and sealed at the same time to provide extra decay protection.

Tooth colored fillings, also called white fillings or composite fillings, are dental fillings that restore and mimic the natural appearance of tooth structure. In addition to restoring teeth that have fractured or decayed, tooth colored fillings may also be used cosmetically to change the size, color and shape of teeth. They are a natural tooth color, which allows them to become nearly invisible. They require smaller preparation, which means less tooth structure is removed.

At the Brush Stop all materials we use are BPA free, and biocompatible. The composite materials we use exchange elements from the saliva, such as phosphate and calcium, just as natural enamel would. Feel free to ask one of our team members should you have more questions regarding tooth colored fillings.
