What are Tooth-Coloured Fillings?
Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a durable, aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional amalgam fillings. Made from a mixture of plastic and glass particles, these fillings blend seamlessly with your natural tooth structure, making them virtually invisible. Tooth-coloured fillings are not only used to treat cavities but can also repair cracked, chipped, or worn teeth.

These durable and aesthetically pleasing fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your smile, helping you maintain both confidence and dental health.
