What Are Tooth Coloured Fillings?
Tooth coloured fillings are a modern dental treatment used to repair cavities and minor tooth damage while maintaining a natural look. Made from composite resin, these fillings bond directly to the tooth, helping to restore strength and structure.
They are carefully matched to the shade of your teeth, allowing them to blend seamlessly, particularly on visible areas such as front teeth.
This treatment supports good oral hygiene and overall dental care by helping to prevent further decay and protect the tooth. In some cases, fillings may be used after root canal treatment to help restore function and maintain long-term oral health.
Signs You May Need Tooth Coloured Fillings
You may be a suitable candidate for tooth coloured fillings if you have:
Tooth decay or cavities
Small cracks or chips in teeth
Worn tooth surfaces
Sensitivity to hot or cold
Dark, stained, or damaged old fillings
Dark, stained, or damaged old fillings
Minor tooth damage from grinding or biting
A consultation will confirm whether tooth coloured fillings are the right treatment for you.
