Tooth-Coloured Fillings: Restore Your Smile Beautifully & Naturally
Say goodbye to the visible signs of dental work and hello to a seamlessly restored, confident smile! Our advanced Tooth-Coloured Fillings, also known as Composite Fillings, offer an aesthetic and highly effective solution for repairing cavities, chips, cracks, and even replacing old, unsightly metal fillings.
What Are Tooth-Coloured Fillings?
Tooth-coloured fillings are made from a durable composite resin material, a blend of plastic and finely ground glass particles. This innovative material can be precisely matched to the shade of your natural teeth, creating a virtually invisible restoration that blends perfectly with your smile. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, providing excellent support and strength.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Unrivaled Aesthetics
- Seamless Blend: Custom-matched to your existing tooth shade, making the filling virtually undetectable.
- Natural Appearance: Restores the tooth's original beauty without any dark spots or metallic glint.
2. Preserve Natural Tooth Structure
- Minimally Invasive: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings, as the composite material bonds directly to the tooth.
- Strengthens Teeth: The bonding process helps to support the remaining tooth structure, reducing the risk of fracture.
3. Health-Conscious Choice
- Mercury-Free: Completely free of mercury, addressing concerns some patients have about amalgam fillings.
- Biocompatible: The composite resin is safe and well-tolerated by the body.
4. Versatile Application
- Cavity Repair: Ideal for filling new cavities, large or small.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Can be used to repair minor chips, cracks, close small gaps between teeth, or reshape worn teeth.
- Amalgam Replacement: An excellent option for safely and aesthetically replacing old, dark, or failing silver fillings.
5. Durable & Long-Lasting
- Strong Material: Modern composite resins are highly durable and designed to withstand the forces of daily chewing.
- Excellent Longevity: With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, tooth-coloured fillings can last for many years.
6. Enhanced Comfort
- Reduced Sensitivity: Patients often experience less post-operative sensitivity compared to metal fillings.
Ideal Candidates for Tooth-Coloured Fillings
- Individuals with new dental cavities.
- Patients looking to replace old, discoloured, or broken amalgam (silver) fillings.
- Anyone seeking a natural-looking solution for minor chips, cracks, or surface irregularities.
- Those who prioritize aesthetics and a mercury-free dental restoration.
The Procedure: What to Expect
The process for receiving a tooth-coloured filling is typically completed in a single dental visit:
- Preparation: We will numb the area with a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort.
- Decay Removal: Any decayed or damaged tooth material is carefully removed.
- Tooth Conditioning: The tooth surface is gently etched and a bonding agent is applied to prepare it for the composite material.
- Composite Application: The composite resin is applied in thin layers, carefully sculpted to match the natural contours of your tooth.
- Curing: Each layer is hardened using a special curing light.
- Finishing Touches: Once the final layer is applied and hardened, the filling is shaped, trimmed, and polished to a smooth, natural-looking finish that blends seamlessly with your bite and smile.
Care & Maintenance for Your Tooth-Coloured Fillings
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your tooth-coloured fillings:
- Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily and floss once a day.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Visit your dentist for professional cleanings and examinations every six months.
- Avoid Excessive Staining: While composite fillings are stain-resistant, prolonged exposure to highly pigmented foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, berries) can cause some discolouration over time, similar to natural teeth.
- Protect Your Teeth: Avoid biting on extremely hard objects (ice, hard candies) or using your teeth as tools, as this can damage any dental restoration.
