Tooth colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, repair a tooth affected by decay using a metal-free, shade-matched material that blends naturally with your child’s smile. This service is part of our full Restorative Dentistry approach at Kids Choice Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Ezeanolue uses only high-quality, tooth colored composite at Kids Choice Pediatric Dentistry, our office is completely amalgam-free. Whether your child has a cavity or a small chip, a tooth colored filling restores strength while keeping their smile looking natural.
Cavities aren’t always easy to spot at home. Here are signs your child may need a tooth colored filling:
Catching a cavity early means a smaller, simpler filling. That’s one reason regular Check-ups & Cleanings matter, part of our broader Preventive Dentistry approach, even baby teeth benefit from prompt treatment since they hold space for permanent teeth to come in correctly.
Natural Looking. Tooth colored fillings are shade matched to your child’s teeth, so they blend in and stay hard to notice.
Safe and Metal Free. Made from composite resin instead of metal or amalgam, these fillings contain no mercury and suit children with metal sensitivities.
Preserves Tooth Structure. Placing a tooth colored filling requires removing less of the natural tooth than older filling methods, helping keep more of your child’s healthy tooth intact.
Composite fillings also harden instantly under the curing light, so most children can eat normally as soon as the numbness wears off.
We know a filling can sound worrisome to a parent, especially if it’s your child’s first one. Our team takes time to explain each step in simple, friendly language before we begin.
Local anesthesia keeps your child comfortable during the procedure, and Nitrous Oxide is available for children who feel especially nervous. Many parents are surprised at how calm their child stays once they see the tools and understand what to expect.
Most fillings are completed in a single visit. Some mild sensitivity for a day or two afterward is normal and usually fades quickly on its own.

Yes. Tooth colored composite fillings are shade matched to your child's natural teeth, making them far less noticeable than traditional silver amalgam fillings while still restoring full chewing strength.
Yes. Fillings are safe and common for young children, even on baby teeth. Treating a cavity early helps baby teeth stay healthy until they naturally fall out, protecting the space for permanent teeth underneath.
Composite fillings typically last several years with good home care and regular checkups. Their lifespan depends on the location of the filling and how well your child brushes and flosses at home.
