Tooth-coloured fillings, often made from composite resin or glass ionomer, are used to restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage. The material is carefully matched to the colour of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless appearance. The procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth, filling the cavity with the tooth-coloured material, and then shaping and polishing the filling to match the natural contours of your tooth.
