Composite Restorations

Treatment overview‍

Composite restorations, also known as tooth-coloured fillings, offer a natural-looking solution for repairing decayed, chipped, or damaged teeth. Made from a durable resin material, these restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing strength and an aesthetically pleasing result. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composite restorations bond directly to the tooth, preserving more of its natural structure.

How composite restorations work‍

The process begins by cleaning out the affected area of the tooth to remove decay or damage. Once prepared, the composite resin is applied in layers and carefully shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth. A special light is then used to harden the material, after which the restoration is polished for a smooth, natural appearance.

Key benefits

• Aesthetic appeal: Composite restorations are tooth-coloured, blending naturally with your smile for an invisible repair.
• Preserves tooth structure: Unlike metal fillings, composite restorations require less removal of your natural tooth, maintaining more of its integrity.
• Durability: The composite material is designed to withstand daily wear, making it a long-lasting option for dental repairs.
• Versatility: Composite restorations can be used to repair cavities, chips, cracks, and other dental issues, offering a flexible solution.

At Dental Holistix, we use high-quality composite materials to ensure strong, durable restorations that enhance both function and appearance. Our personalised approach means we focus not only on repairing your teeth but also on improving your overall oral health and wellbeing.
