Composite (tooth colored) fillings are used to repair teeth that are being harmed by decay, cracks, or fractures. The decayed or damaged portions of the teeth are removed and the space is filled, restoring your teeth to their original shape. Composite tooth colored fillings look much more realistic than metal fillings and they are made to correspond with the color of your existing teeth. New, tooth colored fillings strengthen your teeth, helping you avoid future root canal therapy, tooth damage, and complications associated with older fillings.

Reasons for composite fillings:

• Chipped teeth
• Closing space between two teeth
• Cracked or broken teeth
• Decayed teeth
• Worn teeth

Tooth Colored fillings are very durable, and will last many years, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile. Request an appointment with Dr. Festa to discuss the options available to you.
