TOOTH COLOURED FILLINGS: Restore Your Smile Naturally & Invisibly
Embrace a Flawless Smile with Advanced Dental Restorations
Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings or white fillings, represent the pinnacle of modern restorative dentistry. Designed to perfectly mimic the natural shade and translucency of your teeth, these advanced fillings offer a discreet and aesthetically superior solution for repairing teeth affected by decay, cracks, fractures, or wear. Say goodbye to dark, noticeable amalgam fillings and welcome a brighter, healthier-looking smile.
Key Benefits & Why Choose Tooth-Coloured Fillings:
- Seamless Aesthetics: The primary advantage! Our composite resin material is custom-matched to your tooth's exact shade, blending invisibly with your natural enamel. No one will know you have a filling.
- Preserves More Tooth Structure: Unlike traditional metal fillings which often require significant removal of healthy tooth structure, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth. This chemical bond allows for a more conservative preparation, preserving more of your natural tooth.
- Mercury-Free & Biocompatible: Made from a safe, durable composite resin (a mixture of plastic and finely ground glass particles), these fillings are completely mercury-free. They are a biocompatible choice for those concerned about metals in their mouth.
- Strengthens Tooth Structure: The direct bonding process adds structural integrity to the weakened tooth, helping to prevent further fractures or damage.
- Versatile Application: Beyond just filling cavities, tooth-coloured composites can be used for various cosmetic enhancements, such as repairing chipped teeth, closing small gaps, or covering stained areas, often in a single visit.
- Less Temperature Sensitivity: Composite materials are less conductive than metal, potentially leading to less sensitivity to hot and cold foods and beverages post-procedure.
- Durable & Long-Lasting: With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, tooth-coloured fillings are designed for excellent longevity and can withstand the daily forces of chewing.
How They Work: The Art & Science of Restoration
The process of receiving a tooth-coloured filling is typically completed in one comfortable visit:
- Preparation: The affected tooth area is gently numbed, and any existing decay or old filling material is carefully removed.
- Shade Matching: A precise shade guide is used to select the composite resin that perfectly matches your natural tooth colour.
- Bonding: The tooth surface is lightly etched and a bonding agent is applied, creating a strong adhesive surface for the composite material.
- Application: The tooth-coloured resin is applied in thin layers, meticulously shaped and contoured to restore the tooth's original form and function.
- Curing: Each layer of composite is hardened instantly with a special high-intensity curing light.
- Finishing: Once all layers are applied and cured, the filling is polished to a smooth, natural-looking finish, ensuring proper bite alignment and comfort.
Who Can Benefit?
- Individuals with new cavities, no matter how small.
- Patients looking to replace old, unsightly amalgam (silver) fillings with a more aesthetic option.
- Those with minor chips, cracks, or worn tooth surfaces.
- Anyone seeking a safe, metal-free dental restoration.
Care & Maintenance for Your Tooth-Coloured Fillings:
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your tooth-coloured fillings, we recommend:
- Excellent Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily and floss once a day to prevent new decay around the filling.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule routine visits to allow your dentist to monitor the condition of your fillings and overall oral health.
- Avoid Excessive Staining: While durable, composite resin can sometimes stain over time from excessive consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco.
- Protect Your Teeth: Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, pens, or hard candies, as this can damage any restoration. If you grind your teeth, a nightguard may be recommended.
