Fillings

When a tooth needs repair.

What it is

Tooth‑colored.

A filling replaces what decay or wear has taken away. We use a tooth-colored composite, layered and cured directly into the tooth and polished until the repair disappears into the surrounding enamel — no metal, no dark margins, and most visits are finished in under an hour.

When a filling is the right call.

  1. i.

    A new cavity caught at a checkup.

    Treated early, while the repair stays small and the tooth stays strong.

  2. ii.

    An old silver filling you'd like replaced.

    Swapped for a tooth-colored composite that disappears into the enamel — cleaner line, no dark shadow.

  3. iii.

    A hairline fracture on a back tooth.

    Sealed and rebuilt before the crack can travel, restoring full chewing function.

  4. iv.

    Wear or sensitivity at the gumline.

    Smoothed and protected with a thin layer of composite — reduces the sensitivity, blends to the tooth.
