Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, have become increasingly popular in modern dentistry due to their aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.

We make them from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles, creating a material that closely matches the natural color of your teeth. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, which are silver in appearance, these blend seamlessly with the surrounding tooth structure, making them virtually invisible when smiling or speaking.
