Dental Filings
Tooth-coloured fillings are a natural and durable way to repair teeth affected by decay or minor damage. Unlike traditional silver fillings, they are designed to blend in with your natural tooth colour, restoring both function and appearance in a discreet way.
We use modern composite materials that bond securely to the tooth, helping preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while providing long-lasting protection.
When You May Need a Filling
You may need a dental filling if you notice signs of decay or damage developing in a tooth. These issues often start small but can worsen if left untreated.
Here is a common list of issues that may need a filing:
- Tooth decay or cavities
- Sensitivity when eating or drinking hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Dark spots or visible holes in teeth
- Chipped or worn tooth surfaces
- Food repeatedly getting stuck in one area
Treatment Options and Benefits
The treatment process is simple and usually completed in one visit. We carefully remove any decay, clean the area, and restore the tooth using a natural-looking composite material that is shaped and polished to match your smile.
Tooth-coloured fillings are also commonly used to replace older silver (amalgam) fillings, especially when patients want a more natural appearance or when existing fillings are worn or deteriorating.
Treatment includes:
- Removal of decay or old filling material
- Cleaning and preparation of the tooth
- Placement of tooth-coloured composite resin
- Shaping and polishing for a natural finish
Benefits include:
Natural appearance that blends with your teeth
Mercury-free alternative to silver fillings
