Natural-Looking Repair
Tooth-Coloured Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are made from tooth-coloured resin that can be shade-matched to your natural enamel. They are often used for visible teeth as well as back teeth where appearance and function both matter.
Unlike older silver-coloured fillings, composite restorations bond directly to the tooth. This allows the dentist to repair the damaged area while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Why Patients Like Composite Fillings
- Mercury-free material
- Blends with natural tooth colour
- Bonds directly to enamel
- Helps preserve healthy tooth structure
- Smooth, comfortable finish
What to Expect
The Dental Filling Process
A filling appointment is focused on removing damaged tooth structure, sealing the tooth, and restoring a comfortable bite.
Cavity Preparation
The decayed or weakened area is gently removed, and the tooth is shaped so the filling can bond securely.
Composite Placement
Tooth-coloured composite resin is placed in layers and hardened with a special curing light.
Bite Check and Polish
The filling is shaped, adjusted, and polished so it feels smooth and blends with the tooth.
When a Filling May Not Be Enough
If a cavity or fracture is too large, a standard filling may not provide enough strength. In those cases, the dentist may recommend an inlay, onlay, or crown to protect more of the tooth and better handle chewing forces.
Inlays and onlays are sometimes called partial crowns because they replace more tooth structure than a filling while preserving more natural tooth than a full crown.
How Long Do Fillings Last?
Fillings can last for many years, but they are not permanent. Over time, chewing pressure, grinding, acidic foods, or normal wear can cause fillings to chip, crack, stain, or loosen.
Regular dental exams allow our team to check the edges of your fillings and recommend repair or replacement before a small issue becomes more serious.
Caring for Tooth-Coloured Fillings
You can care for composite fillings much like natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss every day, and visit the dentist regularly for cleanings and exams.
To help your fillings last longer, avoid chewing ice or hard objects, limit frequent sugary snacks, and let us know if your bite feels uneven after treatment.
