Tooth fillings colored to look like a natural tooth are known as Composite Resin Dental Fillings. Composite Resin Dental Fillings are made of a plastic dental resin. They are strong, durable, and make for a very natural looking smile.
Composite resin fillings are applied in thin layers and slowly built up to form the complete filling. A bright dental light will harden each layer before the next is applied.
Once your filling is completed, Dr. DelCastillo will use a special articulating paper to adjust the height of your dental filling and make sure your bite remains correct. Your tooth is then polished.
