Seamless Smile Restoration: Advanced Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Say goodbye to noticeable metal fillings and hello to a naturally beautiful smile! Our advanced tooth-coloured fillings (also known as composite or white fillings) offer a discreet, durable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for restoring teeth affected by decay, chips, or fractures. Utilizing state-of-the-art dental materials, we can seamlessly blend restorations with your natural tooth structure, making them virtually invisible.
What Are Tooth-Coloured Fillings?
Tooth-coloured fillings are a modern alternative to traditional amalgam (silver) fillings. Made from a durable composite resin material, these fillings are carefully matched to the precise shade of your natural teeth. This allows us to restore the health and integrity of your tooth while maintaining the harmony and beauty of your smile.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Natural Appearance: Precisely matched to your existing tooth shade, making them virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. No more dark spots or visible metal when you smile!
- Minimally Invasive: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to traditional amalgam fillings. The composite material bonds directly to your tooth, preserving more of your natural tooth enamel.
- Strong & Durable Bond: The resin material chemically bonds to your tooth structure, enhancing its strength and integrity, which can reduce the risk of further cracking or fracture in the restored tooth.
- Mercury-Free: A safe, biocompatible option for those concerned about mercury in dental restorations. Our fillings are made from a blend of plastic and fine glass particles.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for repairing new cavities, fixing chipped or fractured teeth, closing minor gaps, and replacing old, unsightly metal fillings.
- Reduced Sensitivity: The strong bond helps insulate the tooth, often leading to less post-treatment sensitivity compared to metal fillings which conduct temperature changes more readily.
- Single-Visit Procedure: Typically completed in one efficient appointment, allowing you to walk out with a restored, beautiful smile without delay.
Who Is It For? (Ideal Candidates)
Tooth-coloured fillings are an excellent choice for individuals seeking to:
- Repair new cavities with an aesthetic and long-lasting solution.
- Replace old, dark amalgam (silver) fillings for a more natural and appealing look.
- Restore chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth, especially those visible when smiling.
- Close small gaps between teeth (in some cases, as a cosmetic bonding procedure).
- Enhance the overall aesthetics of their smile without extensive cosmetic procedures.
The Procedure: What to Expect
The process for receiving a tooth-coloured filling is straightforward and comfortable:
- Preparation: The affected tooth area is gently numbed, and any decay or damaged tooth structure is carefully removed.
- Shade Matching: We will use a shade guide to select the composite resin that perfectly matches the colour of your natural teeth.
- Bonding Agent: The tooth surface is prepared with a special bonding agent to ensure a strong and lasting adhesion.
- Application & Sculpting: The tooth-coloured resin material is applied in thin layers, meticulously sculpted to match the natural contours of your tooth.
- Curing: Each layer is hardened rapidly with a special curing light.
- Finishing: The filling is then carefully polished and adjusted to ensure a comfortable bite and a smooth, natural finish that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Care & Maintenance for Your Tooth-Coloured Fillings:
Caring for your tooth-coloured fillings is similar to caring for your natural teeth:
- Oral Hygiene: Maintain excellent oral hygiene with regular brushing (twice daily) and flossing (once daily).
- Routine Check-ups: Schedule routine dental check-ups and cleanings every six months or as recommended by your dentist.
- Staining Foods: While composite fillings are stain-resistant, excessive consumption of highly staining foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, berries) can lead to discoloration over time.
- Avoid Hard Objects: Refrain from biting on extremely hard objects (ice, pens, hard candies) to prevent chipping or damaging the filling, just as you would protect your natural teeth.
- Nightguards: If you grind or clench your teeth, a custom nightguard may be recommended to protect your fillings and natural teeth from excessive wear.
