Composite Restorations

Composite restorations (sometimes referred to as white fillings or tooth-coloured restorations) use a resin material that matches the colour of your natural teeth.


They can repair damage caused by decay chips or wear and give you a smile that looks both healthy and natural.



Using modern materials and techniques we ensure your restoration is discreet, strong and built to last.

Why You May Need Composite Restoration

If you have a tooth that is decayed chipped cracked or worn down a composite restoration may be the right choice.


It is a conservative treatment option meaning that we remove less of the healthy tooth structure compared to traditional metal fillings or crowns.


Because the material is tooth-coloured it blends in seamlessly with your smile and restores both function and appearance.

                            What it Involves

The Treatment Process

Your journey begins with a thorough examination and discussion about your goals and options.


Once we are confident a composite restoration is suitable your dentist will carefully remove any decay or damaged tissue and prepare the area.


The tooth surface is isolated and treated so the resin bonds securely, then the composite material is applied in layers shaped to match your natural anatomy and hardened using a special light.


Finally the restoration is polished for a smooth finish and your bite is checked. You will leave with a restored tooth that looks natural and performs well.

Caring for Your Restoration
