COMPOSITE FILLINGS
Restore what's damaged.
Keep what looks natural.
Composite fillings are a tooth-coloured alternative to traditional metal fillings, allowing us to repair decay, chips and damage without leaving an obvious restoration behind.
The composite material is carefully matched to the colour of your natural tooth before being shaped and polished for a smooth, discreet finish.
They can be used for new fillings or, where clinically appropriate, to replace existing fillings when appearance is a concern.

Ask us a question →01 What is a composite filling?
A composite filling is a tooth-coloured restoration used to repair a tooth affected by decay or damage. The material can be matched to the shade of your natural tooth for a more discreet finish.
02 Will my filling look natural?
Composite is available in different shades and can be carefully shaped and polished to complement the surrounding tooth. The aim is to create a restoration that looks as natural and discreet as possible.
03 Can composite be used on chipped teeth?
Composite can be used to rebuild some chipped or damaged teeth. Whether it's the right treatment depends on the tooth and the extent of the damage, which we'll assess before recommending treatment.
04 Can you replace an old metal filling?
In some cases an existing filling can be replaced with a tooth-coloured restoration. We'll first examine the tooth and existing filling to determine whether replacement is appropriate.
