Tooth Coloured Fillings
Not everyone wants silver fillings that show when they smile or laugh. Our white fillings (or composite dental fillings) are made up of a composite resin that is colored to match the shade of your teeth.
This material has big advantages over traditional metal fillings. It chemically bonds to the teeth unlike amalgam and it does not contain mercury. These beautiful strong materials mean you can laugh and smile without anyone ever noticing your fillings.
The main advantage of a tooth-colored filling is that it looks more natural. If you don’t want your filling to be seen, this is an ideal choice for you. Composite fillings can be used for holes of various sizes.
An added benefit of composite fillings is that they bond to the inside walls of the tooth cavity. This reduces the amount of drilling required and seals and protects the inside of the tooth from bacteria.
