What are tooth-colored fillings?

Cosmetic fillings use tooth-coloured composite resin, or porcelain inlays and onlays, to repair cavities in a way that blends with your teeth. They replace older silver (amalgam) fillings for many patients.

General dentists place tooth-coloured fillings. A specialist is rarely needed unless decay reaches the nerve, when a root canal may be required.
