What is a Cosmetic Filling?

A cosmetic filling is a kind of filling that blends in with your natural tooth color. The dentist removes the decayed portion of your tooth and fills it with material the same shade as your tooth. This type of material is made from a composite resin that blends in with your tooth enamel. Dentists may use other materials to make cosmetic fillings too. They include porcelain, ceramic, or a mixture of glass and acrylic. A Naperville cosmetic dentist can help you determine which kind of filling is best for your unique situation.

 

What are the Benefits of Cosmetic Fillings?

When you choose cosmetic fillings instead of traditional fillings, you enjoy a wide variety of benefits. For example, cosmetic fillings:

  • Blend with your natural tooth color so they aren't noticeable when you smile
  • Are perfect for patients who are allergic to metal fillings
  • Require less preparation than a traditional fillin
