Composite Fillings

Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings for Kids

​

Composite fillings are a safe, effective, and natural-looking way to repair children’s teeth that have been damaged by cavities, cracks, or everyday wear and tear. These fillings are made from a tooth-colored material that blends in with your child’s natural teeth, making them a great option—especially for front teeth or other visible areas.

​

While composite fillings are durable and can last for several years, they may eventually need to be replaced—especially as children grow. It’s also important to maintain good brushing and flossing habits at home, as composite fillings are sensitive to technique and can be more prone to developing new cavities if oral hygiene isn't kept up.

​

There are different types of fillings available, and your child’s dentist will help you choose the best one based on your child’s specific needs.
