Tooth colored fillings, also called white fillings, are fillings that restore and mimic the natural appearance of tooth structure.
In addition to restoring teeth that have fractured or decayed, they may also be used cosmetically to change the size, color and shape of teeth

Advantages
Composite fillings are made of a mixture of tiny particles in a resin medium. Because they match the color of your tooth, they blend right in with your natural teeth.
They are also a treatment option to help restore the function and appearance of a tooth that is damaged or decayed.
A major benefit of fillings vs silver amalgam is that much less natural tooth is removed during placement of a tooth filling; so it is a much more conservative treatment option
In addition, if you have a tooth that is chipped or broken, fillings can also be used to fix it.
How to care for your fillings
There is no special care required for your filling.
Just continue to follow good oral hygiene practices, including brushing twice a day and flossing once a day.
Make sure to see your dentist twice a year for regular examinations and cleanings because you can still get cavities around teeth with fillings.
Very rarely patients experience tooth sensitivity after the filling is placed. This is perfectly normal and will almost always resolve itself within a short period of time.
