Tooth coloured fillings

Say goodbye to dark silver fillings! A filling replaces a part of the tooth that has been destroyed by decay or through accidental damage. While there are many occasions where a silver amalgam filling is an option, more commonly people are aware of their dental appearance and prefer tooth colored or ‘white fillings.’ At Kingscourt Dental Practice we have a variety of shades that can be colour matched to your tooth. Quite often a tooth needs less preparation for a white filling than a silver one. The result is a more natural reflection of the previous tooth shape. Ask your dentist for more information.
