Tooth-Coloured Fillings in Surrey Quays

When decay, a chip or an old filling is letting you down, a modern white composite filling rebuilds the tooth so it looks and feels like new. At Surrey Quays Dental Practice we use high-quality, shade-matched composites that are bonded directly to your tooth — no dark metal showing when you smile.

01 — Overview

What is Tooth-Coloured Fillings?

A composite filling is a tooth-coloured resin material that's layered into the cavity, hardened with a curing light and polished to a smooth, natural finish. Unlike old-style amalgam, composite bonds chemically to the tooth — meaning less drilling and a stronger result.

We carefully match the shade to your surrounding teeth, so even fillings in your smile line are virtually invisible.

What happens during treatment

A calm, step-by-step approach so you always know what to expect.

Step 01
Gentle assessment
We check the tooth and take an X-ray if needed to see exactly what's happening below the surface.
Step 02
Numbing
A small amount of local anaesthetic so you don't feel a thing. We always check you're comfortable first.
Step 03
Clean & prepare
Decay is gently removed and the cavity prepared. Composite means we remove only what's necessary.
Step 04
Layer, cure & polish
Composite is built up in layers, cured with light and polished for a smooth, comfortable bite.
