What Are Tooth-Coloured Fillings?
Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a special resin material that matches the natural shade of your teeth. They are used to repair cavities, cracks, and other minor damage, restoring both the function and appearance of your teeth.
The Procedure: Quick, Comfortable & Effective
- Numbing: We’ll make sure you’re comfortable by numbing the area around the tooth.
- Removing Decay: We’ll gently remove any decay or damaged tooth structure.
- Preparing the Tooth: The tooth is cleaned and prepared for the filling material.
- Applying the Filling: The tooth-colored resin is applied in layers, carefully shaped, and hardened with a special light.
- Polishing: We’ll polish the filling to a smooth, natural finish that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Benefits of Tooth-Coloured Fillings
- Natural Look: They blend in perfectly with your natural teeth, so no one will even know you have a filling!
- Strong & Durable: They are made from a strong and durable material that can withstand the forces of chewing.
- Safe & Biocompatible: Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, they don’t contain any mercury or other harmful metals.
- Minimally Invasive: Less tooth structure needs to be removed compared to amalgam fillings.
- Versatile: They can be used to repair teeth in any area of your mouth.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
- Relaxed & Friendly Atmosphere: Our team will make sure you feel comfortable and at ease.
- Thorough Examination: We’ll carefully examine your teeth and discuss your treatment options.
- Pain-Free Procedure: We’ll use local anesthetic to numb the area, ensuring a painless experience.
- Same-Day Treatment: In most cases, tooth-coloured fillings can be completed in a single visit.
After Your Filling
- You may experience some mild sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures for a few days. This is normal and should subside on its own.
