The shiny metal fillings made for a glaringly obvious change to your teeth! However, your Parsippany dental team uses modern materials to make your teeth seamlessly whole again.

What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Dental fillings are typically used to restore teeth damaged from tooth decay. When we say a filling is “tooth-colored,” we mean that the materials used for the filling mixture are made from a bone-white composite resin instead of a silver or gold amalgam. Our tooth-colored fillings are indistinguishable from natural enamel, providing patients with a perfectly seamless look. Plus, they’re biocompatible and will integrate with the natural portion of your tooth!
The Process of Getting a Tooth-Colored Filling
First, we’ll color-match our resin against your teeth to make sure we blend together a shade that will be identical to your natural gloss. From there, we’ll:
- Numb your treatment area to ensure your comfort
- Clean up your tooth, removing any remaining decay
- Apply sanitization
- Carefully fill in your tooth with our composite resin
- Let the material cure under a special light
- Trim off any excess filling material and reshape it as necessary
- Give your tooth a nice polishing
- Send you on your way!
All told, a tooth-colored filling treatment is quick and minimally invasive. We can usually complete the process in about an hour!
