Tooth Coloured Fillings

There has been a shift away from silver fillings (amalgam) to tooth coloured fillings with modern technology. It is important to note that silver fillings are not harmful and very durable and long-lasting. However, they do not look natural; that’s why our dentists use tooth-coloured fillings in almost all scenarios.
Tooth coloured fillings are made up of composite resins.

The benefits of tooth coloured fillings :

• aesthetically pleasing
• can be matched to natural tooth
  
• can strength weak tooth
• require less tooth structure to be removed
• chemically bond to the tooth
