Tooth coloured restorations

Tooth Coloured Restorations and Bonding

Today there are two very real reasons why people are moving towards the tooth coloured restorations. Firstly they are becoming increasingly anxious about the use of amalgam due to its mercury content, and secondly the aesthetic considerations; they do not want to show off amalgam and gold.

White Fillings

There are now many techniques available to restore a broken or decayed tooth using a tooth coloured filling material. Here at The Dental Surgery we use both composite and porcelain restorations. Both these filling materials are matched to your own natural tooth colour. They are bonded by a special adhesive into your tooth, adding to the retention of the filling and sealing the tooth.

Cosmetic Bonding

Bonding is a very simple cost-effective way of closing gaps, removing other defects, changing rotated or broken teeth. It involves simply bonding a composite filling material matched to your tooth colour without the need for any tooth tissue removal.
