Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Tooth-Coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are dental restorations used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay or minor damage. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, tooth-coloured fillings are made from a mixture of resin and finely ground glass particles, resulting in a natural-looking restoration that closely matches the color of the surrounding teeth. A person should consider getting tooth-coloured fillings if they have:

• Cavities: Tooth-coloured fillings are used to fill cavities caused by decay, restoring the tooth’s structure and preventing further damage.
• Minor Damage: They are also suitable for repairing teeth with minor chips, cracks, or wear.
• Aesthetic Concerns: Since tooth-coloured fillings blend seamlessly with the natural tooth color, they are an ideal choice for restoring teeth in visible areas of the mouth, such as the front teeth.
