Tooth Coloured Fillings

Beautiful, Natural-Looking Dental Restorations

What Are Tooth Coloured Fillings?

Tooth coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a modern, mercury-free alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings. Made from a durable composite resin, these fillings are carefully matched to the exact shade of your natural teeth, making them virtually undetectable.

At Sierra Springs Dental, we use tooth coloured fillings as our standard for treating cavities and restoring damaged teeth. Beyond their natural aesthetics, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, preserving more of your natural tooth and providing a strong, long-lasting restoration. Whether you need a new filling or want to replace old metal fillings, our team delivers beautiful, natural-looking results.

Benefits of Tooth Coloured Fillings

Composite fillings offer the perfect combination of aesthetics, strength, and biocompatibility for a healthier, more beautiful smile.

Natural Appearance

Composite resin fillings are carefully colour-matched to your natural tooth shade, making them virtually invisible. No one will know you have a filling.

Mercury-Free

Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, tooth coloured fillings contain no mercury or other metals, providing a biocompatible restoration you can feel confident about.

Preserves Tooth Structure

Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth surface, requiring less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings. This keeps your tooth stronger.

Versatile Application

Tooth coloured fillings can repair cavities, chips, cracks, and worn edges. They can also be used to close small gaps between teeth and reshape uneven teeth for a more uniform smile.

Comfortable & Durable

Modern composite resins are strong and long-lasting. They do not expand and contract with temperature changes like metal fillings, reducing the risk of cracks and sensitivity.

Completed in One Visit

Tooth coloured fillings are placed and cured in a single appointment. The composite is applied in layers, sculpted to your tooth's natural shape, and hardened with a special light.
