Tooth-Coloured
Fillings
WHAT IS A TOOTH-COLORED FILLING?
Tooth-colored fillings (also called composite fillings) are made from a durable resin that’s matched to your tooth’s natural shade. They’re used to repair teeth with:
Cavities or decay
Small chips or cracks
Worn enamel
Replacements for old metal (amalgam) fillings
Bonus: They’re strong, safe, and invisible to the eye.
THE FILLING PROCESS
-
Gentle numbing (if needed — we’re super conservative)
-
Remove decay or damage with precision tools
-
Layered resin application to match your natural color
-
Light curing to harden and bond
-
Polish + check bite for comfort
⏱️ Done in under 45 minutes in most cases.
WHY FILLINGS MATTER
Prevent further decay, infection, or root canals
Stop tooth sensitivity or pain
Strengthen the structure of the tooth
Look natural and last for years
Common Questions
Will it hurt?
Nope. Most fillings are completely painless. And we’ll always talk you through the process.
Will people see it?
Not at all. We match your natural tooth shade — no silver spots or shiny metal.
How long do they last?
With good care, composite fillings can last 7–10+ years.
Do I need to replace my old metal fillings?
Not always. But if they're worn, cracked, or causing sensitivity, we can talk about safe replacement.
