Are you dealing with cavities or minor tooth damage? Navarro Dental Center offers tooth-colored fillings to restore your smile while maintaining a natural look. Unlike traditional metal fillings, our composite resin fillings blend seamlessly with your teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.
WHAT ARE TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS?
Tooth-colored or composite fillings are made from plastic and fine glass particles. These fillings are custom-shaded to match natural teeth, making them virtually invisible. They effectively restore decayed or damaged teeth without compromising the appearance of your smile.
BENEFITS OF TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS
Choosing composite fillings at Navarro Dental Center comes with several advantages:
- Natural Appearance – Unlike silver amalgam fillings, tooth-colored fillings blend with natural teeth.
- Durable & Long-Lasting – Composite resin is strong enough to withstand daily wear and tear.
- Preserves More Tooth Structure – The material bonds directly to your tooth, requiring less drilling than metal fillings.
- Mercury-Free & Safe – A healthier alternative to traditional metal fillings.
- Versatile Usage – Suitable for repairing cavities, chipped teeth, and minor cracks.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. How long do composite fillings last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, composite fillings can last 7-10 years or longer before needing replacement. Their durability depends on bite pressure, teeth grinding, and diet. Navarro Dental Center ensures high-quality tooth-colored fillings with long-lasting protection and a natural look.
2. Are composite fillings safe?
Yes! Composite fillings are completely mercury-free, biocompatible, and safe for patients of all ages. Unlike traditional metal fillings, they bond directly to the tooth structure, preserving more of your natural tooth. Navarro Dental Center uses only high-quality, safe materials to provide the best cosmetic and restorative dentistry.
3. Do composite fillings stain?
Tooth-colored fillings resist stains better than natural teeth but aren’t entirely stain-proof. Limiting coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco use is best to maintain natural shade. Regular brushing and professional cleanings at Navarro Dental Center help keep your composite fillings bright and natural.
4. Can composite fillings be used on front teeth?
Absolutely! Composite fillings blend seamlessly with natural teeth, making them an excellent front and back choice. They restore cavities and minor damage while maintaining a natural appearance. Our dentists at Navarro Dental Center ensure that your tooth-colored fillings match the shade of your smile for a flawless look.
