Composite Restoration at SMH Dental Care
A brighter, more natural-looking smile—without the metal
If you’re looking to refresh your smile, composite restoration offers an elegant solution by replacing old metal fillings with modern, tooth-coloured ones. This simple procedure is safe, effective, and carried out with your comfort in mind.
Using strong, durable composite material, our dentists will gently remove any decay, take out your existing amalgam filling, and restore the tooth with a discreet white filling that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. The result? A healthier smile with no metallic glint.
Why choose white fillings?
White fillings (composite restorations) not only protect and strengthen your tooth—they also look great. They bond directly to the tooth surface, allowing for a more conservative approach that retains more of your natural enamel.
At SMH Dental Care, we always focus on prevention, helping you care for your teeth to avoid decay wherever possible. But when a filling is needed, composite restorations offer an aesthetic and functional choice that supports both your oral health and your confidence.
Common reasons for fillings
- Tooth decay: Caused by plaque—a mix of bacteria and food sugars—which erodes the enamel and creates cavities
- Acid erosion: Can result from certain foods, drinks, or medical conditions like reflux
- Chipping: Often due to injury or biting into hard objects, leaving teeth vulnerable
- Abrasion and attrition: From aggressive brushing or teeth grinding over time
