Tooth-coloured Fillings · Sheffield
Need a filling but dread the dark metal look? Our tooth-coloured composite fillings repair decay and chips while blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Composite Fillings
Worried a filling will leave a dark mark every time you laugh? Composite (white) fillings are made from a tooth-coloured resin, carefully shade-matched to your natural teeth — so a repair stays your little secret.
They're a strong, modern, mercury-free alternative to traditional amalgam, bonding directly to the tooth to restore decay, chips and worn edges while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.
