Natural-looking

Fillings that match
the tooth around them.

Composite fillings are shaded to match your tooth, so a repaired tooth looks like a tooth. They bond to the surrounding enamel, which often means less healthy tooth has to be removed to place them.

How composite compares

The plain facts, without the scare stories you may have read online.

They look like teeth

Matched to your shade, so a filling on a front or visible tooth does not show.

They bond to the tooth

Composite sticks to enamel, so the preparation can often be smaller than an older-style filling needs.

Replacing old silver fillings

We replace an old filling when it has failed, cracked or has decay under it. If you want sound silver fillings changed purely for appearance, that is a cosmetic choice and we will talk it through with you.

Large cavities may need more

When a cavity is too big for a filling to hold, a crown protects what is left. Crowns.

What happens at the appointment

01. Numb & clean out

Local anaesthetic, then the decay is removed and the tooth is cleaned.

02. Layer & cure

Composite goes in in thin layers, each hardened with a curing light.

03. Shape & check the bite

Shaped to the tooth, checked against your bite, and polished. You can eat normally once the numbness wears off.

What it costs

Fillings are priced by size and how many surfaces of the tooth they cover, and you see the figure in writing before we start. Most insurance plans cover fillings; members get 20% off restorative care. Sunbit and CareCredit financing is also available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many years with good care. Size, position and grinding all affect it, which is why we check them at your regular visits.

Only if one has failed, cracked or has decay under it, or if you would like them changed for appearance. Sound fillings do not need to be removed.

The tooth is numbed first, so you should feel pressure but not pain. Some sensitivity for a few days afterwards is normal.

Composite is fully hardened before you leave, but wait until the numbness wears off so you do not bite your cheek.

Most plans cover fillings, though some pay at a lower rate for composite on back teeth. We check your plan before treatment.
