What are Tooth-coloured Fillings?

Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a mixture of tooth-coloured plastic and glass. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, tooth-coloured fillings blend seamlessly with your natural tooth enamel, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing solution for dental cavities and damage.

Are tooth-colored fillings as durable as traditional silver amalgam fillings?

Tooth-colored fillings are durable and can last for many years with proper care. They are designed to withstand normal biting forces and provide reliable restoration.

Do tooth-colored fillings require special maintenance?

Tooth-colored fillings do not require any special maintenance beyond regular oral hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups.

Can tooth-colored fillings be used to replace old silver amalgam fillings?

Yes, tooth-colored fillings can be used to replace old silver amalgam fillings. They offer a more aesthetically pleasing option while still providing effective restoration.

Do tooth-colored fillings stain over time?

Tooth-colored fillings are resistant to stains from common sources like coffee, tea, and tobacco. However, they may discolor slightly over time due to factors like diet and oral hygiene habits. Regular dental cleanings can help maintain their appearance.
