Composite Fillings
Worried about visible metal fillings or new signs of tooth decay? Composite fillings often called white fillings provide a discreet, durable solution that restores strength while blending naturally with your teeth. Whether repairing decay or replacing old silver fillings, this treatment protects your oral health and helps you smile with confidence.
Natural-looking protection for your teeth
Composite fillings are made from a tooth-coloured resin that bonds directly to your tooth for a strong, secure hold. Unlike traditional metal fillings, they blend seamlessly with your natural smile and require less removal of healthy tooth structure.

your journey to natural looking protection starts here
Replacing or placing a composite filling is a straightforward procedure carried out under local anaesthetic to ensure comfort.
If replacing a metal filling, the old material is carefully removed along with any decay, before a tooth coloured resin is placed and shaped to restore the tooth. A special light hardens the filling in seconds, leaving a natural looking and functional result.
Because composite bonds directly to the tooth, less drilling is required compared to metal fillings. This makes treatment more conservative and protective of your natural tooth structure. Patients leave their appointment with a healthier smile that looks and feels completely natural.
