Tooth Coloured Fillings: Restore Your Smile Naturally
Embrace a Seamless, Healthy, and Beautiful Smile
Are you looking to repair a cavity, replace an old, noticeable metal filling, or simply enhance the appearance of a chipped or discolored tooth? Our Tooth Coloured Fillings, also known as Composite Fillings or White Fillings, offer a modern, aesthetically pleasing, and highly effective solution. Say goodbye to unsightly silver and hello to a naturally brilliant smile that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
What Are Tooth Coloured Fillings?
Tooth coloured fillings are a revolutionary dental restoration made from a durable blend of plastic (resin) and fine glass or ceramic particles. Unlike traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, which merely fill a cavity, composite resin material is meticulously color-matched to your natural tooth shade, making the filling virtually invisible. This advanced material is bonded directly to your tooth structure, providing both strength and an uncompromised aesthetic result.
Key Features & Benefits
Experience the superior advantages of choosing tooth coloured fillings:
- Aesthetic Superiority:
- Seamless Blend: Custom-matched to the exact shade of your natural teeth, making the restoration virtually undetectable.
- Invisible Repair: No more dark spots or metallic glints in your smile.
- Confidence Boost: Smile, laugh, and speak with renewed self-assurance.
- Natural Tooth Preservation:
- Minimally Invasive: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings, preserving more of your natural tooth.
- Direct Bonding: The resin material chemically bonds to the tooth, strengthening the compromised area and preventing further decay.

- Resistant to fractures and wear, providing a long-lasting restoration.
Is a Tooth Coloured Filling Right For You?
You might be an ideal candidate for tooth coloured fillings if you:
- Have a new cavity that requires treatment.
- Wish to replace existing amalgam (silver) fillings for aesthetic or health reasons.
- Have a chipped, cracked, or fractured tooth.
- Are looking to cosmetically improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth.
- Prefer a mercury-free dental restoration.
- Desire a natural-looking solution that seamlessly blends with your smile.
The Procedure: What to Expect
The placement of a tooth coloured filling is a straightforward and efficient process, typically completed in a single visit:
- Preparation: We begin by carefully removing any decayed or damaged tooth structure.
- Shade Matching: A precise shade guide is used to select the composite resin that perfectly matches your natural tooth color.
- Bonding Process: The tooth surface is gently etched and a bonding agent is applied, creating a strong foundation for the composite material.
- Layering & Curing: The composite resin is applied in small layers, carefully sculpted to restore the tooth's natural shape, and hardened with a special curing light.
- Finishing Touches: Once the final layer is applied and cured, the filling is meticulously shaped, contoured, and polished to ensure a smooth finish and a perfect bite.
Caring for Your Tooth Coloured Fillings
Maintaining your tooth coloured fillings is simple and similar to caring for your natural teeth:
- Brush & Floss Regularly: Practice excellent oral hygiene with daily brushing and flossing.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule routine examinations and cleanings with your dentist.
- Avoid Excessive Staining: While composite is stain-resistant, excessive consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco can cause discoloration over time.
- Protect Your Teeth: Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails to prevent chipping or damage to the filling or natural tooth.
