At London Dental Specialists, our tooth-coloured fillings offer a seamless and natural-looking solution for treating cavities, blending perfectly with your existing teeth. The process begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment to evaluate the extent of decay and discuss your treatment options. Following this, we develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. During the procedure, the decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, and the cavity is filled with a composite resin that matches your tooth's natural shade. This material is then hardened and polished to restore the tooth's function and appearance. Post-treatment care involves guidance on maintaining oral hygiene to ensure the longevity of the filling and overall dental health.

Wondering about tooth-coloured fillings for cavities? You're not alone. Many patients seek natural-looking alternatives to traditional metal fillings. At London Dental Specialists, we offer composite resin fillings that match your natural tooth colour, making them virtually invisible. These modern fillings not only restore teeth damaged by decay but also bond directly to tooth structure, providing excellent support. While they typically last 5-7 years with proper care, some patients enjoy up to 12 years of service from a single filling. Unlike metal options, tooth-coloured fillings can often be repaired rather than completely replaced. Our patients appreciate both the aesthetic benefits and practical advantages of these restorations, which can be completed in just one visit.
Tooth-coloured fillings are dental restorations made from composite resin materials that match the natural colour of your teeth. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, these fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible when you smile or speak. At London Dental Specialists, we use high-quality composite materials that are durable and aesthetically pleasing for treating cavities.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, tooth-coloured fillings can last between 7-10 years. Some patients may enjoy even longer-lasting results of up to 12 years when maintaining excellent oral hygiene and attending regular dental appointments at London Dental Specialists. Factors affecting longevity include the size of the filling, location in the mouth, and your personal oral habits.
Modern tooth-coloured composite fillings offer excellent durability for most cavity treatments. While they may not be quite as wear-resistant as metal fillings for very large restorations in back teeth that endure heavy chewing forces, they provide more than adequate strength for most applications. The composite materials we use at London Dental Specialists have significantly improved in strength and durability over the years, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.
Tooth-coloured fillings offer several advantages:
The procedure for getting a tooth-coloured filling at London Dental Specialists is virtually painless. We use effective local anaesthetics to numb the area before treatment begins. Most patients report feeling only mild pressure during the procedure. Our dentists are highly skilled at ensuring your comfort throughout the entire process, and the procedure is typically completed in a single appointment.
The cost of tooth-coloured fillings at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the size and location of the cavity, as well as the number of surfaces being treated. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. We offer various payment options to make quality dental care accessible, and many dental insurance plans provide coverage for composite fillings.
Caring for tooth-coloured fillings is straightforward and similar to caring for your natural teeth:
Yes, at London Dental Specialists, we can replace your existing metal fillings with tooth-coloured alternatives. Many patients choose to replace their old amalgam fillings for aesthetic reasons or personal preference. Our dentists will evaluate your current fillings and advise whether replacement is recommended based on their condition and your specific needs.
Tooth-coloured fillings are suitable for most cavities, particularly small to medium-sized cavities in both front and back teeth. For very large cavities or teeth under significant biting pressure, our dentists at London Dental Specialists might recommend alternative restorations such as porcelain inlays, onlays, or crowns to ensure optimal strength and longevity. We assess each case individually to recommend the most appropriate treatment.
