Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Fillings are required when the tooth structure becomes decayed, creating a hole in the tooth.

A lot of teeth have been restored in the past with amalgam (silver) fillings, which has mercury in it and is not aesthetically pleasing.

Amalgam fillings can be successfully replaced with a natural-looking, tooth-coloured resin (composite), as well as new fillings being placed with composite.

The tooth-coloured resin called composite comes in many different shades to match the colour of your tooth to give the most natural look.
