What Are Tooth-Coloured Fillings?
Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a durable, tooth-coloured resin material carefully matched to the shade of your surrounding teeth. They are used to fill in cavities caused by decay or to repair minor chips, cracks, or worn down areas. Unlike traditional metal fillings, the tooth-coloured fillings at Sunridge Family Dental offer a natural look, making sure not to compromise the overall appearance of your smile.
The process at Sunridge Family Dental is simple and effective. Once the decayed part of the tooth is removed, our team will fill the space with the resin and shape it to match the original tooth colour. The material is then hardened using a special light and polished for a smooth, seamless finish. The result is a strong, natural-looking restoration that supports both your oral health and your smile’s appearance.
If you are experiencing sensitivity, pain when biting, or visible marks or dark spots on your teeth, it is a good idea to get checked. If a cavity is found, our dedicated team will walk you through your options and recommend a tooth-coloured filling if it is the best choice for your dental needs.
