Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

At our Manhattan Beach Cosmetic Dentist office we are committed to providing services that not only treat and correct problems, but also enhance the appearance of your smile. Tooth-colored fillings are one example of a procedure that does both.

Advances in dental technology have produced some really amazing materials and procedures that were unavailable just a few years ago. These improvements enable us to offer updated treatments like tooth-colored fillings that protect your oral health and leave you with a bright, beautiful smile.

Advantages of Tooth-Colored Fillings

The composite material that is used for tooth-colored fillings is durable and resilient. From an aesthetic perspective, the great thing about this material is that it can be shaded to match the exact color of your natural teeth. Since they blend so perfectly with your natural teeth, the Manhattan Beach Cosmetic Dentist can use tooth-colored fillings to address a number of dental concerns:

  • Repair broken or cracked teeth
  • Fill in minor chips
  • Alter the shape of irregular teeth
  • Fill in gaps between teeth
  • Replace darkened or deteriorating silver fillings

Preserving Healthy Tooth Structure

Another important advantage of using composite material for fillings is that we need to remove only the decayed portion of the tooth to place a filling that restores your oral health. It is our goal to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible to keep your smile whole and healthy for many years.

Contact Our Office for More Information

Please contact our dentist office to arrange an appointment for an exam and cleaning. At that time we will be happy to answer your questions and help you decide if tooth-colored fillings are the most appropriate solution for your specific problem.
