We’ll help you repair cavities and restore your mouth to full function.

Composite fillings are made of a unique tooth-coloured resin, specifically designed to blend in with the rest of your mouth. They are a significantly safer, more durable, and aesthetically appealing alternative to mercury amalgam fillings.

Key Benefits:

Matches tooth colour effortlessly
Durable and long lasting
Can repair cracks, gaps, and chips as well as cavities

Metal doesnt have to be a part of your smile. With Tooth-coloured fillings, you dont have to choose between having a beautiful smile and having teeth that are strong and durable.

Fillings made from ceramics can help out a tooth in trouble due to decay or injury, or replace outdated fillings that have caused tooth damage. Dr. Smythe provides tooth-coloured fillings so patients can restore original tooth strength and protect teeth from decay and damage. The composite material we use for our white fillings is completely safe and does not carry some of the risks that metal fillings can.

The White Filling Procedure

First, any decay is removed from the damaged tooth. Then, the tooth is prepared with a mild solution. The composite material is placed layer by layer, and then hardened with an intense blue light. The filling is then shaped and polished. You’re left with a newer, stronger tooth that can last several years and aesthetic results that look like you’ve never had a filling.

For patients who have larger areas of decay, a white filling may not be the best option. A porcelain inlay, onlay or crown may offer a better alternative.

Consult with us to see if Tooth Coloured fillings are an option for you.

Additional Information

We’ll start your appointment by freezing your mouth to ensure your comfort. Next we prepare the tooth and make sure we get rid of any built up bacteria. We will then apply the composite resin that has been colour matched to the rest of your teeth. It will be hardened using a special light, and then contoured to fit amongst your other teeth.

FAQ:

How long do fillings last for?

Composite fillings usually last for 10+ years.

Why should I get composite fillings instead of traditional or mercury fillings?

Traditional or mercury fillings can be harmful to your body. Additionally, traditional fillings must be fully replaced if they crack while composite fillings can be repaired. Most people also think that composite fillings are more aesthetically pleasing than other metal fillings.

Are fillings covered by insurance?

Most of our treatments are covered by a majority of insurance companies. For a more detailed explanation of your coverage please call your service provider.
