Amalgam Fillings are a thing of the past—embrace a brighter, future-ready smile with modern materials!

Tooth-coloured rebuilds, often referred to as composite restorations, offer an aesthetically pleasing solution for enhancing both the function and appearance of your smile. These advanced materials are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural teeth, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a refined look.

The process begins with a thorough consultation, where your dental professional evaluates the condition of your teeth and discusses your desired outcomes. Using a shade-matching technique, the composite material is selected to closely match the natural colour of your enamel.

The good news is that our years of experience means that we can replace silver fillings while you sit back and relax.


Composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a durable and aesthetic solution for cavities. Enjoy
a confident smile with functional and discreet restorations. 

FAQs

  • It is not painful to get your fillings changed over to tooth colour, your dentist may use local anaesthetic for this procedure to ensure that you are comfortable throughout the treatment.

  • Composite fillings are a popular choice for restorative dental treatments due to their aesthetic qualities and functionality. Structurally, composite resin consists of a blend of plastic and fine glass particles, which provide both strength and versatility. They bond chemically to the tooth structure, which enhances their stability and reduces the risk of leakage.
    Typically, composite fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years, depending on the individual's oral hygiene practices, the location of the filling, and the size of the restoration. We recommend regular visits with your dentist to monitor / maintain these fillings.

  • Yes! Composite fillings are set with a curing light allowing you to eat / chew as normal after your appointment. Your dentist will check your bite at end of your appointment to ensure that everything is comfortable.

    If your dentist has used local anaesthetic for your treatment we would advise waiting a couple of hours before eating or drinking hot foods.
