Tooth-Colored Fillings in Red Bank, NJ

If you're experiencing sensitivity, pain, or have been told you have a cavity, you're not alone. At Wellness Dental of Red Bank, we provide modern tooth-colored fillings that restore strength and function to your teeth—without the noticeable silver of old-fashioned metal fillings.

Our composite resin fillings are matched to the shade of your natural enamel, offering a solution that’s both durable and aesthetically pleasing. As a trusted Red Bank dentist, we prioritize restorations that blend beautifully with your smile and support your long-term oral health.

What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Tooth-colored fillings are made from a composite resin material that bonds directly to your natural tooth. They are commonly used to:

• Treat cavities and tooth decay
  
• Replace worn or cracked metal fillings
  
• Repair chipped or broken teeth
  
• Reshape teeth for minor cosmetic improvements
  

Unlike metal (amalgam) fillings, composite fillings do not expand or contract with temperature, reducing the risk of cracks or fractures over time.

Advantages of Composite Fillings

Our patients choose tooth-colored fillings because they:

• Match your natural tooth shade
  
• Are mercury-free and biocompatible
  
• Require less tooth structure removal than metal
  
• Bond tightly to teeth to prevent future decay
  
• Look and feel like natural enamel
  

Composite materials are strong enough for front and back teeth and are a long-term, safe solution for patients of all ages.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Getting a filling is quick, comfortable, and usually completed in one visit. Here’s how it works:

1. We numb the area to ensure a pain-free experience.
   
2. Decay is gently removed, and the area is cleaned.
   
3. A custom-shaded resin is applied, shaped, and hardened with a curing light.
   
4. The filling is polished and adjusted for bite and comfort.
   

Our team Including—Dr. Vipul Patel, Dr. Mina Salib, and Dr. Krishna Sureshkumar—takes extra care to ensure your restoration is comfortable, functional, and invisible to the eye.

Early Detection Is Key

Most cavities develop without obvious symptoms. That’s why we recommend biannual cleanings and exams to catch decay early—when it can still be treated with a simple filling instead of more extensive procedures like crowns and bridges or root canals.

The sooner we treat the problem, the easier and more affordable it is to fix.

Insurance & Financing Options

Tooth-colored fillings are often covered by dental insurance, especially when they’re used to treat active decay. For patients without insurance, we offer affordable payment options through CareCredit and Cherry, making it easy to restore your teeth on your schedule and budget.

We’ll always review your treatment plan and costs before we begin—no surprises.
