Tooth-Colored Restorations By Dr. Barrera
 

Tooth-colored fillings are made from durable plastics called composite resins. Similar in color and texture to natural teeth, the fillings are less noticeable, and much more attractive than other types of fillings. In addition, tooth-colored fillings are compatible with dental sealants. A tooth can be filled and sealed at the same time to prevent further decay, but just remember that tooth-colored fillings are not for every tooth, they work best in small restorations and low-stress areas. For example, your pediatric dentist may not recommend a tooth-colored filling for a large cavity or for the chewing surface of a back tooth. Also, tooth-colored fillings may cost a bit more than silver fillings because they take longer to place.
