New for old?

One option to improve the appearance of your smile is to have your old, metal fillings replaced with tooth-coloured composite or 'white' fillings. This is a safe procedure in which the metal filling in the tooth is removed, including any decay detected and a tooth-coloured filling is placed instead. This will allow you to smile without a metallic glint in sight, giving your teeth a more natural overall appearance.

We believe prevention is better than cure and will always encourage and guide you in looking after your teeth to prevent decay in the first place. If however, you do require a filling then we like to recommend tooth-coloured fillings as a solution that is both aesthetic and functional.

• They are fitted immediately and you don’t have to wait for a dental laboratory to fabricate them.
  

• They have low cost in comparison with other types of fillings.
  

• They are safe. They are not composed of disputable materials such as mercury, which many countries have already restricted or banned the use of.
  

• They have high durability and strength if the patient doesn’t have the habit of chewing objects
  

• They have the ability to bond better to the tooth structure and therefore prevent further decay
  

• They are minimally invasive because most of the times less amount of tooth structure has to be removed.
  

• And of course, cosmetically, they are the best option since people won’t notice them. Composite fillings can almost have the color of your natural teeth because we can mix shades of colour to match it.
