Preserving your natural tooth structure for composite fillings

Decay can spread to adjacent teeth if left untreated. We use tooth-coloured restorations to replace this decay with durable materials, which helps preserve your natural tooth structure. Whether you require composite resin for a small cavity or composite veneers to refine your appearance, our digital imaging systems support accurate diagnostics. We provide a range of cosmetic dentistry in London to address these concerns, including composite bonding and composite material restorations. Our team follows standard infection control protocols throughout every visit.

Specialist-led restorative planning

Cost is the first thing most people ask about. A diagnosis-first approach means you understand the value of your treatment before any work begins, with no hidden fees.

We avoid the risks of generic restorations through specialist-led planning. Dr Sodeinde checks every filling is mapped to your specific anatomy. For those seeking a more durable or precise result, we also provide indirect composite bonding.

Composite fillings: Who can benefit from these restorations

Many people avoid the dentist because they feel unhappy about enamel damage or the appearance of old, dark fillings. We provide a judgement-free environment to address these concerns. Whether you have a small chip or a larger cavity, we use materials that blend with your natural tooth to avoid a fake look. If you feel anxious about the visit, we can discuss ways to make you more comfortable before we begin. You can also view our cosmetic treatments: which option fits to see how this compares to other methods.

An examination determines if this is the right choice for your specific tooth structure.

Your path to composite restorations for composite fillings

Clinical assessment of the tooth

We begin by examining the damaged area to determine if a resin filling is the right choice. This visit allows us to assess the tooth structure and discuss your goals. If you require a more detailed aesthetic change, we can discuss composite bonding.

Composite fillings: How we prepare the tooth surface

We remove the decay or old filling material to create a clean, stable base. This stage checks the new material adheres correctly to the tooth. We work carefully to preserve as much of your natural enamel as possible.

Applying the composite resin

We apply the tooth-coloured resin in layers and sculpt the material to match the natural shape and contour of your tooth. This process allows for a precise fit that blends with your existing smile.

Polishing the final restoration

Once the resin is hardened, we polish the surface to a smooth finish. This removes any rough edges and creates a natural lustre. The result is a restoration that feels natural to the tongue.

Reviewing the bite and fit

We check that your bite feels comfortable and aligned. If the filling is too high, we refine the shape immediately. This final check prevents future discomfort or complications.

Clinical precision for composite fillings

As with our other restorations, we plan composite fillings around your specific tooth structure and existing shade, led by Dr Sodeinde as our specialist periodontist.

Common concerns about restorations

How much do composite fillings cost?

Costs vary based on the size and position of the tooth. We determine the exact fee during your clinical assessment, where we evaluate the extent of the decay or damage.

How long do composite fillings last?

Longevity depends on the location of the filling and your oral hygiene. We assess the stability of your enamel during your appointment to check the material will bond effectively for a lasting result.

Which composite fillings do you use?

We use high-grade composite resins designed to mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. This helps avoid a fake look by matching the specific shade and translucency of your surrounding enamel.

What is the difference between composite fillings for different teeth?

The primary difference lies in the material composition and the bonding technique used. Our specialist periodontist selects the specific resin based on whether the restoration is for a front tooth or a high-pressure biting surface.
