Tooth-colored fillings, also called composite fillings, repair teeth while matching the natural shade of your smile. Des Moines River Dental Care provides tooth-colored fillings in Carlisle, Iowa for patients from Carlisle, Des Moines, Indianola and surrounding communities.

Composite fillings use a blend of resin and fine glass particles to create a natural-looking restoration. Our team selects a shade that blends with the surrounding tooth and discusses whether this material is appropriate for your needs. The goal is to restore the tooth while keeping its appearance as natural as possible.

Learn more about when a filling may be needed on our Tooth Fillings page. Regular dental cleanings and checkups also give our team an opportunity to examine your teeth and existing fillings.
