Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Restore decayed or fractured teeth with durable composite fillings that perfectly match your natural tooth colour.
What are Tooth-Coloured Fillings?
Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a modern dental restoration used to repair decayed, chipped, or fractured teeth. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite resin can be perfectly matched to the shade of your natural teeth for an invisible repair.
Suitable For
- Dental cavities
- Small fractures
- Worn or chipped teeth
The Treatment Procedure
Getting a tooth-coloured filling is a quick, comfortable, and single-visit procedure.
Decay Removal
The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is carefully and comfortably cleaned out.
Composite Application
A tooth-coloured composite resin is applied in layers and shaped to perfectly match your natural tooth.
Curing & Polishing
A specialized blue light hardens the resin instantly, followed by a final polish for a natural shine.
Aftercare Instructions
- Avoid eating or chewing until the local anesthesia (numbness) wears off completely to prevent biting your lip or tongue.
- Maintain your regular oral hygiene routine, including brushing twice and flossing daily.
- If you experience persistent sensitivity for more than a few days, contact our clinic.
