Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite fillings are tooth colored fillings that are very durable and are made to match the color of your natural tooth. Dr. Cohen uses these fillings to stop tooth decay from getting worse. Tooth decay results when plaque bacteria in the mouth use sugar and starch to break down tooth enamel and cause cavities in the teeth. Such cavities can be painful and, if left untreated, can result in a myriad of health problems including infection, abscess, and tooth loss.
