Will getting a composite resin dental filling affect the look of my tooth?

Dr. De Vizio of Colgate answered:A composite resin dental filling is a tooth-colored product made from a mixture of acrylic resin and powdered particles similar to glass. The dentist can adjust the composite color to match your tooth, so you should not notice any difference in the look of that tooth after receiving the filling.

Dr. Saul Miller answered:A composite dental filling may actually improve the appearance of a tooth. If the tooth is decayed, fractured and/or discolored, restoration with a bonded tooth colored composite material can fix and restore the tooth, while enhancing the esthetics of the tooth.
Composite resin material is routinely used to restore front teeth, and is often used in the back teeth also.
