Getting a Tooth-Colored Filling in 3 Steps
A filling is a straightforward, single-visit process. From the first exam to the final polish, every step is focused on your comfort and a natural-looking result.
Exam and Shade Match
Dr. Owtad confirms the cavity with a digital X-ray, then selects a composite shade matched to your natural tooth so the repair blends in.
Gentle Decay Removal
The tooth is numbed with local anesthesia, with anti-anxiety medication available on request. We remove the decay and prepare the tooth, preserving as much natural structure as possible.
Bond, Cure, and Polish
We bond the composite in layers, harden each with a curing light, then shape and polish it to a smooth, natural finish and check your bite before you leave.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth-Colored Fillings
If you're considering a tooth-colored filling, you probably have a few questions. Here are the ones Dr. Owtad hears most often.
Do tooth-colored fillings hurt?
No. The tooth and surrounding area are numbed with local anesthesia, with anti-anxiety medication available on request, so the procedure is comfortable. Most patients feel only mild sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days afterward, which usually fades within about a week.
How long do tooth-colored fillings last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, composite tooth-colored fillings commonly last several years to a decade or more. How long a filling lasts depends on its size and location and on your bite, so back teeth that handle heavy chewing may wear sooner than front teeth.
Are composite fillings better than silver amalgam fillings?
Composite fillings are tooth-colored, mercury-free, and bond directly to the tooth, which preserves more of your natural tooth structure. Silver amalgam is more noticeable and contains metal. Most patients choose composite for a more natural look, and it works well on both front and back teeth.
Can I replace my old silver fillings with tooth-colored ones?
Yes. We can safely remove old, dark, or worn amalgam fillings and replace them with a color-matched composite for a more natural, seamless smile. Many patients choose this when their old metal fillings are visible, aging, or starting to crack.
Does insurance cover tooth-colored fillings?
Most dental insurance plans help cover fillings as basic restorative care, often once your deductible is met. Our team will help you understand what your plan includes, and CareCredit financing is available if you would like to spread the cost over time.
