Fillings
Natural-Looking Amalgam-Free Dental Repairs
Cavities are caused by bacteria eroding the tooth’s surface. This decay causes sensitivity and pain and leaves your tooth open to infection.
Fillings repair damaged enamel, stopping toothache and preventing disease. For years, durable, long-lasting mercury amalgam has been the material of choice for fillings—but the black tell-tale black spots it creates on teeth aren’t always a great look.
But modern tooth-coloured materials can match metal fillings in terms of longevity, meaning we can treat cavities without leaving a mark on your teeth.
Even better—iInvisible fillings are just as hardwearing as amalgam and have a much reduced treatment and recovery time.

Tooth Decay Symptoms
Ideally, early signs of tooth decay are detected during routine checkups. However, it’s important to be aware of these symptoms:
- Sensitivity to hot or cold food and beverages
- Pain or discomfort while biting or chewing
- Throbbing pain in the tooth even when not eating
- Visible cavity
- Loss or damage to an existing filling
Placing Your Filling
Before placing your filling, we’ll numb the treatment area. Next, we’ll remove any decayed enamel and clean and dry the tooth. Once the site is debris and bacteria-free, we’ll apply the resin that perfectly matches the colour of your tooth.
Amalgam Removal
Amalgam is a material commonly used in fillings. But while the mercury metal composite may have been a cost-effective option for repairing cavities, the dark metallic fillings are less attractive than tooth-coloured alternatives, and you may have concerns about the mercury content.
The CDC takes pride in being an amalgam-free clinic, offering subtle tooth-coloured composite fillings that provide natural-looking cavity repair. We can also replace old, unwanted amalgam fillings with solid and discreet alternatives.
The Amalgam Replacement Process
Amalgam filling removal is a routine procedure. To ensure your comfort, we’ll provide anaesthetic. We’ll also use a protective dam, water spray, and suction for complete, safe mercury removal.
Once we’ve removed the amalgam filling, we can replace it. Because tooth-coloured composite resin fillings bond to the tooth quickly with less mechanical retention, the procedure is brief, involves less drilling, and has a shorter recovery time.

Can’t fault any part of the service and care I received from the Cosmetic Dental Clinic. After spending years being embarrassed about my teeth, I can’t believe how they look now. Can honestly say it has changed my life and how I feel. My only regret is that I didn’t get it done sooner!

A big thank you to Nigel and the team at The Cosmetic Dental Clinic. I have not long finished my treatment of Invisalign and dental bonding and I am so happy with the final result. Nigel was professional, knowledgeable and made sure we achieved the smile I wanted. I have already been recommending to my family and friends. Thanks again.
