Tooth-Colored Fillings at Seoul Lab Dental Clinic (Uijeongbu)
Small cavities and chipped edges are simple to repair when treated early. At Seoul Lab Dental Clinic, we use shade-matched composites and ceramic inlays/onlays to restore strength and appearance—planned conservatively, bonded precisely, and explained in clear, English-friendly terms.
Do I Need a Tooth-Colored Filling?
- Sensitivity to sweets, cold, or heat
- Visible dark spot, pit, or rough edge
- Food catching between the same teeth
- A small chip or worn edge on a front tooth
Your Aesthetic Options
Composite (White) Fillings
- Best for small–medium cavities or chips
- Custom shade-matched for a seamless look
- Minimally invasive; strong adhesive bonding to enamel/dentin
Ceramic Inlays & Onlays
- Ideal for larger cavities or weakened cusps
- Custom-milled porcelain for high strength and precise fit
- More conservative than a full crown while restoring durability
If decay is very deep or extensive, we’ll discuss root canal therapy and a crown to protect the tooth long term.
