Tooth-Coloured Fillings in Surrey, BC
Fillings that disappear into your smile
Tooth-coloured composite fillings restore a tooth after a cavity is removed, without the dark, noticeable look of older metal fillings. The material is shade-matched to your natural teeth and bonds directly to the tooth structure, so the repair blends in rather than standing out. Beyond the cosmetic benefit, composite fillings also require less removal of healthy tooth structure than some older filling materials.

Common Questions
Frequently asked.
How long do tooth-coloured fillings last?
With good oral hygiene, composite fillings typically last 7 to 10 years or more, though this varies with the size of the filling and your bite.
Does getting a filling hurt?
The area is numbed with local anesthetic beforehand, so the procedure itself is generally painless. Some mild sensitivity afterward is normal and usually fades within a few days.
Can old metal fillings be replaced with tooth-coloured ones?
Yes, we can replace amalgam fillings with composite ones, particularly if they're worn, cracked, or you'd simply prefer a more natural look.
Are tooth-coloured fillings as strong as metal ones?
Modern composite materials are durable and well-suited to most cavities, though very large fillings in back teeth may sometimes call for a crown instead for extra strength.
