Tooth-coloured fillings, all porcelain caps and inlays are not only more aesthetically pleasing, they’re strong enough to withstand the incredible forces associated with regular chewing.

Metallic filling were standard practice until not so long ago.  While these fillings were often unattractive to begin with, over time, the material which makes up the filling corrodes and leaks which blackens the silver, and many times the tooth.

If you’re unhappy with the silver in your smile, talk to us about Composite fillings. Composite fillings are made of a porcelain-like material that actually bonds to the tooth for a tight seal. They are strong, stain-resistant, and they are colour-matched to the natural tooth, making them virtually ‘invisible’.

Composite fillings also lack the sensitivity that is often associated with silver fillings. They are especially suited for smaller cavities and for patients who may be allergic to older metal fillings.
