Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-Colored Fillings
Cavities happen — but treating them doesn’t have to mean silver or metal in your smile. At Kahului Dental, we restore teeth with tooth-colored fillings that blend in naturally and keep your smile looking its best.
✨ What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings, also called composite fillings, are made from a durable, resin-based material that matches the natural shade of your teeth. Unlike old-fashioned silver (amalgam) fillings, they provide a seamless, natural look while protecting your tooth.
🦷 When Do You Need a Filling?
Your dentist may recommend a filling if you have:
A cavity (tooth decay)
A chipped or cracked tooth
Worn teeth from grinding or nail-biting
Old fillings that need replacing
👩‍⚕️ How the Process Works
The tooth is gently numbed for comfort.
Decay or damage is removed.
Composite resin is applied in layers and hardened with a special light.
The filling is shaped and polished to blend with your natural tooth.
The result is a strong, natural-looking restoration—often completed in a single visit.

🗓️ Caring for Your Fillings
