Treatment
Tooth-coloured fillings
We remove decay and rebuild the tooth with a composite resin matched to your shade. Fillings are bonded to the tooth, so less healthy tooth needs to be removed than with older metal fillings.
- Shade-matched composite
- Light-cured (laser) fillings
- Usually done in one visit
- Mercury-free

Tooth-coloured fillings: common questions

Typically 7 to 10 years with good brushing and regular check-ups.
