Tooth-Colored Fillings

Planned opening 2027. We are not yet treating patients. These guides are educational; availability and treatment details require confirmation.

Repair a small or moderate cavity with shade-matched composite resin, carefully bonded and shaped to fit your tooth and bite.

Whole Tooth Dental uses tooth-colored fillings when enough healthy tooth remains to support a bonded repair.

What it is, and why you might discuss it

  • Composite resin replaces damaged tooth structure and is matched to the surrounding tooth shade.
  • It can repair small to moderate cavities or selected worn areas. Larger defects may need ceramic coverage.

How we assess whether it suits you

  • Check cavity size and remaining enamel.
  • Assess symptoms and nerve health.
  • Review bite forces and moisture control.

What the process involves

  1. 01Numb the area when needed and remove decay.
  2. 02Isolate the tooth to keep the bond dry.
  3. 03Bond, shape and harden the composite resin.
  4. 04Check your bite and polish the surface.

Alternatives worth asking about

Benefits

  • A shade-matched repair.
  • Preservation of suitable remaining tooth.
  • Restoration of tooth shape for chewing.

Risks

  • Temporary sensitivity can occur.
  • A filling can chip, stain or wear.
  • Deep decay may lead to further nerve treatment.

Limitations

  • Composite resin is not plastic-free.
  • A filling cannot reliably support every large cavity.

Timing

The number of teeth and depth of repair affect scheduling. Your clinician confirms the visit plan.

Recovery

Avoid chewing while numb and follow aftercare guidance. Report a bite that feels high or sensitivity that persists.

What affects the cost

These factors explain the scope of care, not a Whole Tooth price quote. Assessment fees are separate from later treatment estimates. Whole Tooth’s fees and disclosure policy require confirmation; ask about applicable assessment charges before arranging a visit.
