At Rudheath Dental Health Centre, we believe in providing the most advanced, natural-looking, and long-lasting solutions for restoring teeth. Our composite fillings are a modern, tooth-coloured alternative to traditional metal fillings, offering a seamless blend with your natural teeth for a healthier, more aesthetic smile.
If you need a filling or want to replace old metal (amalgam) fillings, our high-quality composite restorations provide a durable, safe, and natural-looking solution.
Why Choose Composite Fillings?
✅ Natural Tooth-Coloured Appearance – Blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
✅ Strong & Durable – Provides long-lasting protection and function.
✅ Mercury-Free & Safe – No metal, no mercury, just healthier teeth.
✅ Minimally Invasive – Preserves more of your natural tooth structure.
✅ Bonds Directly to Your Tooth – Creates a stronger, more secure restoration.
Traditional silver (amalgam) fillings can weaken teeth over time due to expansion and contraction. In contrast, composite fillings bond directly to your tooth, reinforcing its strength and reducing the risk of cracks or fractures.
When Do You Need a Composite Filling?
✔ To Repair Cavities & Decay – Stop further tooth damage with a strong, aesthetic restoration.
✔ To Replace Old Metal Fillings – Upgrade to a tooth-coloured, mercury-free alternative.
✔ To Restore Chipped, Cracked, or Worn Teeth – Prevent further damage while keeping your smile natural.
✔ To Reshape Teeth for a More Even Look – A minimally invasive way to enhance your smile.
The Composite Filling Procedure
1️⃣ Examination & Consultation – We assess your teeth and discuss your treatment options.
2️⃣ Decay Removal & Tooth Preparation – Any damaged or decayed tissue is carefully removed.
3️⃣ Composite Material Application – The resin is colour-matched and sculpted to fit your tooth perfectly.
4️⃣ Bonding & Hardening – A special light is used to harden and secure the filling in place.
5️⃣ Final Polishing – Your restoration is smoothed and polished for a completely natural look.
⏳ Treatment time: Typically completed in just one visit!
Caring for Your Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are designed to be strong and durable, but with the right care, they can last many years. Maintain your results by:
✔ Brushing & flossing daily – Keep your fillings and natural teeth healthy.
✔ Avoiding excessive staining foods & drinks – Minimise coffee, tea, and red wine.
✔ Attending regular dental check-ups – Ensure your fillings stay in top condition.
✔ Using a night guard if needed – Protect your fillings if you grind your teeth.
