Dental Fillings
Mercury-free, tooth-coloured fillings that blend seamlessly with your smile.
What is Dental Fillings?
Modern composite fillings restore teeth damaged by decay or minor fractures. They bond directly to the tooth, preserve more natural structure than older silver fillings, and are colour-matched so they're virtually invisible.

The procedure

Decay is gently removed while preserving as much healthy tooth as possible.

Polish & bite check
The filling is polished and your bite is checked for comfort.
What to expect afterwards

- Mild sensitivity for a few days is normal

Dental Fillings FAQs
Are tooth-coloured fillings as strong as silver ones?
Yes — modern composites are very strong and bond directly to the tooth, which often makes them more conservative than amalgam.
How long does a filling last?
Well-placed composite fillings typically last 7–10+ years with good oral hygiene.
Does getting a filling hurt?
No. With local anaesthesia (when needed) you'll feel only mild pressure during the procedure.
Can I get my old silver fillings replaced?
Yes — we routinely replace old amalgam fillings with tooth-coloured composites for a more natural look.
