Fillings & basic care
Tooth-coloured fillings
Composite fillings matched to your shade, placed in a single visit.
We remove the decay, then build the tooth back in thin layers of composite resin, each set with a blue light. The shade is matched to your tooth with the same VITA guide you can try on our home page.

Questions patients ask
Can you replace my old silver fillings?
If they are failing, yes. We don’t recommend replacing sound amalgam fillings for looks alone without talking it through first.
