Tooth Coloured Fillings
Tooth-Coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are dental restorations used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay or minor damage. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, tooth-coloured fillings are made from a mixture of resin and finely ground glass particles, resulting in a natural-looking restoration that closely matches the color of the surrounding teeth.
- Cavities: Tooth-coloured fillings are used to fill cavities caused by decay, restoring the tooth’s structure and preventing further damage.
- Minor Damage: They are also suitable for repairing teeth with minor chips, cracks, or wear.
- Aesthetic Concerns: Since tooth-coloured fillings blend seamlessly with the natural tooth color, they are an ideal choice for restoring teeth in visible areas of the mouth, such as the front teeth.

At Ridgetop Dental International,tooth-coloured filling procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Preparation: The dentist will numb the area around the affected tooth with a local anesthetic to ensure the patient’s comfort during the procedure. The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is then removed using a dental drill or laser.
- Etching and Bonding: The tooth surface is etched with a mild acidic solution to create a rough surface, which helps the filling material bond securely to the tooth. A bonding agent is applied to the prepared tooth to facilitate adhesion.
- Placement of Composite Resin: The tooth-coloured composite resin material is carefully applied in layers to the prepared tooth, shaping and sculpting it to match the natural contours of the tooth. Each layer is hardened with a special curing light before the next layer is added.
- Finishing: Once the filling material has been placed and shaped to perfection, the dentist will trim and polish the restoration to ensure a smooth and seamless finish. This step also helps to restore the tooth’s natural appearance and function.
- Final Evaluation: The dentist will assess the newly placed filling to ensure proper fit, function, and aesthetics. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure the patient’s comfort and satisfaction.

Patient Testimonials
"The best doctor Dr. Jayshree Hegde in the town. If you are looking for the right treatment with all the advanced tools & treatment techniques, this is the place. It's super hygienic as well."
"Took an appointment here after a couple of disappointing diagnoses at other clinics. The front desk staff were very courteous at the time of registration. The doctor so patiently heard my concern and my previous diagnosis. Then I took an x-ray and reviewed the issue. I was a bit nervous but the doc so nicely explained the issue with my tooth and gave a very realistic treatment of cleaning and doing a permanent filling. I'm now able to comfortably chew and eat. Thank you so much!"

FAQs On Tooth-Coloured Fillings Treatment
Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a type of dental restoration used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or minor fractures. These fillings are made from a mixture of tooth-coloured plastic and glass materials, providing a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Some benefits of tooth-coloured fillings include their natural appearance, ability to bond directly to the tooth, and preservation of healthy tooth structure.
The process of placing tooth-coloured fillings typically involves removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, cleaning the area, and applying the composite material in layers. Each layer is hardened with a special curing light before shaping and polishing the filling to match the natural contours of the tooth.
With proper care and maintenance, tooth-coloured fillings can be highly durable and long-lasting. Our dentist will evaluate your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate type of filling for your situation.
To maintain the longevity of your tooth-coloured fillings, it's essential to practice good oral hygiene habits, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and attending regular dental check-ups. Avoid chewing hard objects or biting down on extremely sticky foods that could damage the fillings
