White Fillings in Essex
Tooth-coloured fillings matched to the shade of your natural teeth, so you can smile without a metallic glint in sight.
Last updated:
How it works
- Any decay is removed, and old metal (amalgam) fillings are taken out if you are having them replaced.
- The new filling is made from a very hard, tooth-coloured material designed to withstand the forces of biting and chewing over a long period.
- The restoration is completed in one visit, and your fillings will not be visible when you smile.
Benefits
- Natural-looking restoration
- Bite and chew as usual
- Hard-wearing
