Confirm the problem
We examine the tooth and explain why a filling is recommended and whether another option should be considered.
Restorative dentistry
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite fillings restore teeth affected by cavities or minor damage while blending naturally with the surrounding tooth.
What to know
Start with a clear diagnosis and a conversation.
When a tooth has decay or a small area of damage, a filling can restore the missing structure and help the tooth function normally again. Skyline uses tooth-colored restorative materials when appropriate.
What to expect

Common questions
Questions about tooth-colored fillings?
We can answer questions about your specific situation after an exam.
How long do tooth-colored fillings last?
Longevity varies with filling size, tooth location, bite forces, oral hygiene, and other factors. Your dentist can monitor the restoration at routine visits.
Can an old metal filling be replaced?
Sometimes. A dentist should first evaluate the existing restoration and tooth to determine whether replacement is appropriate.
