Tooth-Colored Fillings in Fulshear, TX

Tooth-colored fillings — also called composite or white fillings — repair cavities and small chips with a material that matches your natural tooth. At MK Dental Studio in Fulshear, TX, Dr. Madiha Khanani uses only mercury-free materials, so your filling is strong, safe, and nearly invisible. We serve patients from Fulshear, Brookshire, Katy, and the Jordan Ranch area.

When Do You Need a Filling?

• A cavity (tooth decay)
• A small chip or crack
• A worn spot on a tooth
• An old filling that is cracked, leaking, or breaking down

Cavities often don’t hurt at first, which is why regular exams and X-rays are important for catching problems early.

Why Choose Tooth-Colored Fillings?

• Natural look — the resin is shade-matched to blend with your tooth
• Conservative — composite bonds directly to the tooth, so less healthy tooth structure is removed than with metal fillings
• Mercury-free — we use only biocompatible, mercury-free materials

The Filling Process at MK Dental Studio

1. Numbing — the area is numbed so you stay comfortable.
2. Removing decay — Dr. Khanani gently removes the decayed or damaged part of the tooth.
3. Shade matching and layering — tooth-colored resin is placed in layers and hardened with a special light.
4. Shaping and polishing — the filling is shaped to your bite and polished to a natural finish.

Most fillings are completed in one short visit.

Replacing Old Silver Fillings

If you have older silver (amalgam) fillings, Dr. Khanani can evaluate them and let you know whether replacement is recommended — for example, if they are cracked, leaking, or worn.

Filling vs. Inlay/Onlay vs. Crown

• Filling — best for small to moderate cavities
• Inlay or onlay — for larger areas of damage that are too big for a filling
• Crown — for cracked or badly weakened teeth that need full coverage
