Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, have revolutionized dentistry in recent years. These fillings are made of a mixture of plastic and glass materials and are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural colour of your teeth. They have gradually replaced traditional metal amalgam fillings as the go-to option for cavity treatment. The primary purpose of tooth-coloured fillings is to restore the integrity and function of damaged teeth, while also providing an aesthetically pleasing result. 

Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures.

Here are the key purposes of tooth-coloured fillings:

It’s important to note that the choice of filling material depends on several factors, including the extent of the tooth damage, the location of the tooth, and the patient’s preferences.
