What are tooth-colored
dental fillings?

Dental fillings are a treatment performed on teeth that have cavities or holes.

Whilst many materials can be used to fill a broken tooth, we use composite materials that can be matched to the color of your tooth.

These tooth-colored fillings help to restore the tooth back to its normal shape and size so it can once again be used for chewing, speaking and smiling.

a tooth colored filling?

The process of placing a filling is technique sensitive and our dentists always strive to achieve great long-lasting results.
