Tooth Coloured Composite Fillings

Tooth coloured composites are made from durable plastics called composite resins. Similar in colour and texture to natural teeth. The fillings are unnoticeable and much more attractive. This type of filling can be used on front and back teeth.

It is a very good choice for replacing old discoloured silver amalgam fillings. It involves removal only of the decayed part of the tooth or the old filling thereby preserving the tooth structure.

Procedure:

If the tooth is sensitive or in case of deep cavities a local anaesthesia will be administered. After the decayed part or the old filling is removed the tooth is conditioned, the tooth coloured filling material is placed in and set in the chair side with a curing light. The filling is completed and polished. There is no need to wait for eating and drinking as the filling sets chair side.
