Still available in certain situations, especially for posterior teeth where durability is key. Made from a mixture of metals including mercury, silver, tin, and copper.
Less commonly used but available for specific cases. Gold offers exceptional durability; porcelain is stain-resistant and aesthetic.
Our most commonly used option. Tooth-coloured, durable, and bonded directly to the tooth for a natural and aesthetic finish.
Release fluoride over time and are often used for children or in non-load-bearing areas.
The Dental Filling Process
The filling is polished and adjusted to ensure
a natural bite and comfortable finish.
Finishing
Touches
We begin with a thorough examination, including x-rays and digital scans to determine the extent of decay or damage. We'll discuss your options and recommend the most suitable material for your needs.
Examination
The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is gently removed. For composite fillings, less tooth structure needs to be removed compared to amalgam.
Preparation
The filling material is selected to match your natural tooth colour. Composite is layered and shaped to blend seamlessly with
your tooth.
Shade Matching
& Application
A special light is used to harden the composite in layers, bonding it securely to the tooth.
