Tooth Fillings (Coloured or White)
Most people have fillings in their mouths. Many people don’t want silver or black fillings showing when they laugh or smile. Nowadays fillings can be more natural looking.
Composite fillings are tooth-coloured and can blend in with the remaining natural tooth.
Composite fillings can be a good choice for small to mid-size restorations. Less tooth structure needs to be removed when the dentist prepares the tooth, and this may result in a smaller filling than an amalgam filling.
For some of the larger restorations, or areas more prone to fracture, laboratory made porcelain restoration may be a better choice.
