Aesthetic Fillings

Natural-looking restorations that blend seamlessly

What Are Aesthetic Fillings?

Aesthetic fillings, also known as tooth-colored or composite fillings, are modern dental restorations that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, they provide a virtually invisible repair.

At Avana Dental, we use premium-grade composite materials and advanced bonding techniques to restore your teeth with beautiful, durable, and natural-looking results.

Types of Aesthetic Fillings

1

Direct Composite Fillings

Applied directly to the cavity in a single visit. Ideal for small to medium-sized restorations.

2

Indirect Composite Inlays

Custom-fabricated in a lab for larger restorations that require precision fit and enhanced durability.

3

Glass Ionomer Fillings

Release fluoride to help prevent further decay. Often used for fillings near the gum line or in children.

4

Premium option offering exceptional aesthetics and durability for front teeth restorations.
