Transform Your Smile with Expert Cosmetic Dental Fillings
- Cosmetic dental fillings are tooth-colored restorations used to repair cavities, chips, or minor fractures in visible teeth.
- Unlike traditional silver/amalgam fillings, cosmetic fillings blend naturally with your teeth for a more aesthetic result.
- Also called white fillings, composite fillings, or resin fillings.
Types of Cosmetic Fillings
- Composite Resin Fillings
- Made of plastic and glass particles
- Tooth-colored and moldable to match shape
- Can be used for front or back teeth
- Durable for small to medium cavities
- Glass Ionomer Fillings
- Made of glass and acrylic
- Releases fluoride to help prevent further decay
- Less durable than composite; often used for baby teeth or areas with low chewing pressure
- Porcelain Fillings (Inlays/Onlays)
- Made in a lab, then bonded to the tooth
- Stronger and more stain-resistant
- Used for larger restorations
- More expensive
Procedure
- Examination & Cleaning – dentist removes decay
- Tooth Preparation – minimal drilling; preserves healthy tooth
- Filling Placement – composite applied in layers
- Curing – special light hardens the material
- Shaping & Polishing – ensures a smooth surface and proper bite
Benefits of Cosmetic Fillings
- Natural, tooth-colored appearance
- Bonds to tooth, preserving more natural structure
- Less sensitive to temperature changes than metal fillings
- Can repair chips or cracks, not just cavities
- Mercury-free (unlike traditional silver fillings)
Durability
Type | Lifespan |
Composite resin | 5–10 years |
Glass ionomer | 3–7 years |
Porcelain inlay/onlay | 10–15 years |
Care Tips
- Brush twice daily and floss regularly
- Avoid biting very hard objects (ice, pens)
- Regular dental check-ups every 6 months
- Cosmetic fillings can be polished if minor staining occurs
