Yonge Eglinton Centre - "YEC Dentistry"
Tooth-coloured dental fillings, also known as composite fillings or white fillings, are a modern solution for repairing cavities, chipped teeth, and minor tooth damage. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a beautiful, virtually invisible restoration.
At YEC Dentistry, we use high-quality tooth-coloured materials that restore the appearance, strength, and function of your teeth while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Composite fillings are made from a durable blend of acrylic resin and fine glass particles. The material is carefully colour-matched to your natural teeth, creating a restoration that looks virtually identical to the surrounding enamel.
After removing tooth decay, the composite material is bonded directly to the tooth and sculpted to restore its natural shape before being hardened with a special curing light.
