Everyone strives to avoid cavities, but even the most diligent brushers and flossers can develop a cavity in their lifetime. No matter the reason for your tooth decay, a filling is the best way to restore the health of your tooth, and with a tooth-colored filling, you can do so discreetly, for a picture-perfect tooth.

At Kitchener East Family Dental in Kitchener, ON, Canada, our dentists offer custom fillings to match your tooth for an invisible fix.

Why is a tooth-colored filling a great choice for me?

Appearance

The dentists at our Kitchener, ON, Canada, office will custom make your filling to match the hue of your natural tooth so the filling is inconspicuous. While metal and gold fillings are just as effective at filling the void, those made from composite, porcelain, or glass ionomer offer all the benefits without the contrast in color. Composite fillings, a blend of plastic and glass, require less drilling, while porcelain fillings are stain-resistant. Glass ionomer fillings are often the most affordable choice.

Effectiveness

A tooth-colored filling is just as effective at restoring the health of your tooth. After your dentist removes the decayed portion of your tooth and cleans it, a filling is used to cover the void to protect it from bacterial growth and decay. Once cured, all fillings are durable and permanent, no matter the color or material used.

Comfort

Your dentist will make sure the surface of your filling matches that of your natural tooth, so you can bite down properly and there are no protrusions. A filling won't impact your ability to chew, brush, or floss.
