Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings, also called composite fillings, are a modern, aesthetically pleasing way to restore teeth affected by decay, chips, cracks, or wear. Made from a durable resin-based material, these fillings are carefully shaded to match the natural color of your teeth, making them virtually invisible once placed.

At Cameron Dental Studio in Naples, we specialize in delivering high-quality, custom-shaded composite restorations that protect your teeth while maintaining the natural beauty of your smile. Unlike traditional metal fillings, tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly into your tooth structure without compromising strength or functionality.

Benefits of Choosing Tooth-Colored Fillings

Natural Appearance
Tooth-colored fillings are expertly matched to your unique tooth shade, offering a restoration that’s indistinguishable from your natural enamel. At Cameron Dental Studio, our advanced color-matching technology ensures flawless results that restore both beauty and function.

Mercury-Free and Biocompatible
Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings are mercury-free, making them a healthier, more biocompatible option for our patients. We use only safe, modern materials that bond securely to your teeth and support long-term oral health.

Durability You Can Count On
The composite resin we use at Cameron Dental Studio is formulated for strength and resilience. Whether you’re restoring a front tooth or a molar, our tooth-colored fillings resist wear and fracture, providing protection you can rely on for years.

Minimally Invasive Technique
Composite fillings require less removal of natural tooth structure compared to metal fillings. Our skilled Naples team focuses on preserving as much healthy enamel as possible, using precision techniques to ensure a tight, lasting bond.

Temperature Stability
Composite resin fillings expand and contract at a rate similar to natural enamel, reducing the risk of tooth fractures over time. This makes them ideal for long-term stability, especially in Southwest Florida’s varying climates and diets.

How the Tooth-Colored Filling Process Works

Step 1: Consultation and Exam
We begin with a comprehensive dental exam, using advanced diagnostics to assess the extent of decay or damage. Our Naples dentist will review your options and help you determine if a composite filling is right for you.

Step 2: Color Matching
Using a detailed shade guide, we match the filling material to your exact tooth color, ensuring a restoration that blends seamlessly.

Step 3: Tooth Preparation
After numbing the area, we gently remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth. Our conservative approach preserves the surrounding enamel.

Step 4: Bonding the Composite Resin
We apply the tooth-colored composite in layers, each hardened with a special curing light. The filling is then carefully sculpted to replicate the natural shape and function of your tooth.

Step 5: Final Shaping and Polishing
The restoration is polished to a smooth, glossy finish, ensuring a natural look and feel. You’ll leave the office with a restored tooth that functions beautifully and looks completely natural.

Caring for Your Composite Fillings

To keep your composite fillings in top condition, follow these guidelines:

• Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
• Floss once a day to prevent decay between teeth
• Visit Cameron Dental Studio every 6 months for cleanings and checkups
• Avoid biting hard objects (ice, pens, hard candies)
• Limit consumption of highly pigmented or acidic foods to prevent staining

With proper care, your tooth-colored filling can last 8 to 15 years or more.
