Tooth Coloured Fillings
Say goodbye to the old silver fillings and hello to a natural-looking smile with Tooth-Coloured Fillings. These modern fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both aesthetic appeal and durable protection for cavities and minor tooth damage.
What Are Tooth-Coloured Fillings?
Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a blend of high-quality resins and glass particles. These materials are carefully matched to the shade of your natural teeth, ensuring that the filling is virtually undetectable. They are used to repair cavities, chipped teeth, and minor fractures, restoring the strength and appearance of your teeth.
Benefits of Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Natural Appearance
Composite fillings are custom-shaded to match the color of your teeth, making them nearly invisible. Unlike metal fillings, which can cause discoloration over time, tooth-coloured fillings keep your smile looking natural.
Durability
These fillings are highly durable and can withstand the daily pressures of chewing and biting. They bond directly to the tooth structure, providing additional support and protection against future damage.
Safe and Mercury-Free
Tooth-coloured fillings are made from biocompatible materials and are free from mercury, ensuring a safe option for all patients.
Less Tooth Removal
When placing a composite filling, less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed compared to traditional metal fillings. This preserves more of your natural tooth and strengthens it.
When Are Tooth-Coloured Fillings Needed?
Cavities
Tooth-coloured fillings are ideal for treating cavities, particularly in visible areas like the front teeth. They restore the tooth’s function while maintaining its natural look.
Chipped or Cracked Teeth
If you have a chipped or cracked tooth, a composite filling can repair the damage while blending in perfectly with your other teeth.
Worn or Replaced Fillings
If you have old metal fillings that have worn down or you simply want a more aesthetic option, we can replace them with tooth-coloured fillings for a seamless look.
The Procedure
Preparation
The area around the affected tooth will be numbed for comfort. Any decayed or damaged portions of the tooth will be removed, and the remaining structure will be cleaned.
Application
The tooth-coloured resin is applied in layers, carefully sculpted to match the natural contours of your tooth.
Curing
Once in place, the filling is hardened using a special light, ensuring a strong, long-lasting bond.
Finishing
The filling is polished for a smooth finish that blends flawlessly with your natural teeth.
