What Is an Aesthetic (Composite) Filling? An aesthetic filling is a modern dental treatment used to restore teeth affected by decay, fractures, or wear using tooth-colored materials. Replacing traditional black (amalgam) fillings, aesthetic fillings can be safely applied to both front and back teeth. Made from composite or porcelain materials, these fillings are bonded to the tooth using a special light-curing technique, providing a natural appearance. Why Is an Aesthetic Filling Needed? Aesthetic fillings are preferred for the following reasons: Repairing decayed or broken teeth Eliminating the dark appearance caused by amalgam fillings Correcting tooth discoloration Closing gaps between teeth Restoring tooth length and shape Creating a personalized smile design Aesthetic fillings restore the tooth’s natural look, strength, and function, offering both cosmetic and functional benefits. How Long Does an Aesthetic Filling Take? Aesthetic filling treatment is usually completed in a single visit. Depending on the condition of the tooth, the procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.
