Tooth Coloured Fillings

Composite (tooth-coloured) fillings are a modern alternative to the old silver amalgam fillings.

Made from a safe resin material combined with fine glass particles, they are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Suitable for both front and back teeth, these fillings not only restore function but also help maintain the natural look of your smile
