What are tooth-colored fillings?
A tooth-colored filling replaces the decayed or damaged part of a tooth. It restores the tooth's shape and strength and blends in with your smile, so it's hard to tell it's there. It can also replace an old filling that has cracked or broken.
It may help if you have
- A cavity
- A chipped or cracked tooth
- An old filling that's broken or dark
- Pain or sensitivity when you bite
