Tooth-Colored Fillings in Tyler, TX

Harmful bacteria on your child’s teeth can lead to decay. Untreated decay may cause further complications, such as pain or infection. Composite fillings are a safe, effective solution to help preserve your child’s teeth.

Composite fillings are made of a tooth-colored, composite resin. This resin is strong, durable, and aesthetic. We gently remove decayed tissue and place your child’s filling to help prevent further damage.

What are The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Tooth-colored fillings have many benefits for patients, such as:

  • They offer a natural tooth-colored appearance
  • They are durable
  • They resist fractures
  • They can be applied in one dental visit
  • They can be used to fix both minor and large tooth damage
  • There is only a short amount of time that patients experience sensitivity after the procedure
