Modern dentistry: With today's science dentists can fill a tooth with a substance that can come so close to your natural tooth color it might not be visible. Composite fillings or porcelain restorations come so close to you tooth color and can offer strength and beauty. Metal fillings of gold and silver are still good but they do have their place. And it is not in your area of your smile.
