Brighton Implant Clinic - An award winning dental health clinic
Tooth-coloured restoration, also known as a white filling, is a dental procedure designed to restore the natural appearance of teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. This type of restoration uses composite resins made from powdered glass and acrylic, which are carefully matched to the color of your existing teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Unlike traditional silver fillings, these composite fillings offer both aesthetic and functional benefits, providing a durable and visually pleasing solution for dental repairs.

The process of tooth-coloured restoration typically begins with the dentist preparing the affected tooth by removing any decay or old filling material. The tooth is then cleaned and treated with a special etching solution to create a slightly rough surface, which helps the composite resin adhere better. Next, the dentist applies the composite resin in layers, using a high-intensity light to harden each layer as it is applied. Once the filling is built up to the correct shape and size, the dentist sculpts and polishes it to ensure it matches the contour and sheen of the natural tooth, resulting in a strong and seamless restoration that enhances both the appearance and health of your smile

At Brighton Implant Clinic, dental implants are simple and comfortable. Patients can choose local anesthesia or sedation for a relaxed experience. Procedures usually take 30 minutes to an hour. For back teeth, a healing period of 8 weeks is needed for integration with the jawbone. Front teeth replacements can often include a temporary tooth fitted on the same day. After healing, a second visit involves taking impressions for a custom-made, natural-looking tooth, typically made from durable, stain-resistant zirconia. Post-treatment care includes regular oral hygiene and annual check-ups to maintain the implant.
