Tooth Colored Fillings for Kids & Children in San Luis Obispo & Arroyo Grande

Composite, or tooth colored fillings, match the color and physical appearance of our natural teeth closely and are preferred by most dentists for restorations made in aesthetic areas. They are also used successfully on molars or other chewing surfaces, as long as the fillings are relatively small. For larger fillings, or those that go in between the teeth (interproximal decay), silver fillings may be recommended. However, for the most part, both types of filling materials, be it composite or amalgam, can be used to restore teeth that have been affected by decay.

Tooth colored fillings are one of the latest developments in modern dentistry. They restore teeth by mimicking their natural appearance and providing a cosmetically pleasing and comfortable way to wear them. Orthodontists recommend tooth color fillings for closing gaps between teeth, straightening teeth or repairing chipped ones
