What Are Tooth-Coloured Fillings and How Do They Restore Your Smile?
Tooth-coloured composite resin fillings match the shade of your natural teeth so closely that most people can't tell you've had dental work done at all. They're an excellent choice for both new cavities and replacing old silver amalgam fillings.
Unlike traditional silver fillings, composite resin bonds directly to your tooth, which means less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed. The result is a stronger, more natural-looking restoration — often completed in a single visit.
- Virtually invisible — blends seamlessly with your smile
- Bonding strengthens and protects the remaining tooth
- No mercury or metal components
- Preserves more healthy tooth structure
- Suitable for front and back teeth
- Completed in a single appointment
