Cosmetic fillings, also known as tooth-colored or composite fillings, are a modern alternative to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. Made from a durable composite resin that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, these fillings restore cavities while maintaining the beauty of your smile.

of Cosmetic Fillings
