What is a Tooth-Coloured filling
A Tooth-Colored filling uses Composite Resin — a blend of plastic and fine glass particles — bonded directly to your tooth after all decay is removed. Unlike traditional amalgam, composite bonds chemically to your tooth structure, meaning less healthy tooth needs to be drilled away. A special curing light hardens each layer in seconds, then the filling is shaped and polished to a completely natural finish.
Filling materials compared -Why composite beats amalgam
We haven't placed a silver amalgam filling in years. Here's the full picture of why
composite is the clear choice today.
- Silver Amalgam
- Dark metal — visibly obvious
- Contains mercury (50% by weight)
- More healthy tooth must be removed
- Expands and contracts, causing micro-cracks
- Does not chemically bond to tooth
- Tooth-Coloured Composite
- Invisible — matches your natural shade
- Mercury-free and BPA-free
- Minimal tooth removal needed
- Stable — no expansion or cracking risk
- Bonds chemically for a tight bacterial seal
- Completed in a single appointment
