If you have a chipped tooth, a small cavity, or an old filling that needs replacing, tooth coloured fillings can restore strength and appearance in a natural-looking way. Our team provides gentle, precise care designed to protect your tooth and keep your smile looking like you.
Tooth Coloured Fillings
Tooth coloured fillings, also known as composite resin fillings, are used to repair decay, chips, or worn areas of a tooth. The material is carefully matched to your tooth shade, then shaped and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
They are a popular option for both front and back teeth when you want a strong restoration without the look of metal.
Understanding Tooth Coloured Fillings
A filling is typically needed when tooth structure has been damaged by decay, fracture, or wear. Treating it early helps prevent the issue from progressing and may reduce the need for more complex dental work later.
Common reasons you may need a filling include:
- A cavity found during a check-up
- Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- A chipped or cracked tooth
- An old filling that is worn, loose, or leaking
- Minor tooth wear from grinding or clenching
We will assess the tooth, explain your options, and recommend the most suitable approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see my dentist about a filling?
If you have sensitivity, pain when biting, or you notice a chip or dark spot on a tooth, it is worth booking in. Many cavities do not cause pain early on, so regular check-ups are key.
Are tooth coloured fillings as strong as metal fillings?
Composite fillings are durable and widely used, including for back teeth. The best option depends on the tooth, the size of the repair, and your bite.
How long do tooth coloured fillings last?
With good home care and regular check-ups, fillings can last for years. Longevity depends on the size of the filling, where it is in the mouth, and habits like grinding.
Will it match my tooth colour?
Yes. We select a shade that blends with your natural tooth, then shape and polish the filling for a smooth, natural finish.
