A beautiful smile is one of your most valuable assets, but even with the best oral hygiene routine, cavities and dental wear can happen. If you are looking for a discreet, durable, and aesthetic solution to repair your teeth, tooth coloured fillings in Kensington at Freshdental provide the perfect answer. Gone are the days of noticeable silver amalgam fillings that darken your smile; modern dentistry now allows us to restore your teeth with materials that are virtually invisible.
Choosing tooth coloured fillings in Kensington means opting for a treatment that blends science with artistry. Traditional metal fillings, while functional, often require the removal of significant healthy tooth structure and can expand or contract with temperature changes, potentially leading to cracks.
Aesthetic Excellence: The material is carefully shade-matched to your natural enamel, ensuring the filling is undetectable even in the "smile zone."
Structural Integrity: Unlike metal, composite resin bonds chemically to the tooth. This means less of your natural tooth needs to be removed, and the filling actually helps to support the remaining tooth structure.
Mercury-Free: Many patients prefer tooth coloured fillings in Kensington because they are entirely free from mercury and other metals.
Versatility: These fillings are not just for cavities; they can also be used to repair chipped, worn, or broken teeth.
Dr Vasant is one of the best dentists in the business
Dr Vasant is one of the best dentists in the business and I genuinely wouldn’t want to see anyone else for my teeth. I am a Dentist myself and have been seeing him for my dentistry for the last 5 years. I’ve had some extensive cosmetic work and I’m always thrilled with the results. Monik is kind, friendly and absolutely knows what he is doing. I trust him completely and would recommend anyone to him- even my own patients go to him for their bonding. The clinic is gorgeous and everyone there is very welcoming. We can all only wish to be such great dentists! Thank you to Monik and the team for all your care!
When you visit Freshdental in Kensington for a restorative treatment, we ensure your experience is comfortable, efficient, and stress-free. Most tooth coloured fillings in Kensington can be completed in a single appointment, typically lasting between 30 and 60 minutes.
First, our experienced dentists at Freshdental in Kensington will examine the affected area. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we determine the extent of the decay or damage. Once we confirm a filling is necessary, we apply a local anaesthetic to ensure the area is completely numb.
The decayed or damaged part of the tooth is carefully removed. One of the highlights of choosing Freshdental in Kensington is our meticulous shade-matching process. We select a composite resin that matches the specific hue and translucency of your surrounding teeth.
The resin is applied in thin layers. Each layer is "cured" or hardened using a specialised high-intensity light. This layering process ensures the tooth coloured fillings in Kensington are incredibly strong and durable.
Once the cavity is filled, your dentist will sculpt the material to match the natural contours of your tooth and check your bite. The final step is a thorough polish, leaving your tooth feeling smooth and looking completely natural.
At Freshdental Kensington, we believe that every patient deserves a bespoke treatment plan. While tooth coloured fillings in Kensington are ideal for small to medium-sized cavities, we also offer alternative solutions for more extensive damage.
Many of our patients at Freshdental in Kensington choose to have their old silver fillings replaced. Over time, amalgam can leak or cause the surrounding tooth to take on a greyish tint. By switching to tooth coloured fillings in Kensington, you can "brighten" your smile from the inside out and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with metal-free dentistry.
If a cavity is too large for a standard filling but not large enough to require a full crown, our team at Freshdental in Kensington may recommend a porcelain inlay or onlay. These are custom-made in a laboratory and offer superior strength for the back molars while maintaining the aesthetic benefits of being tooth-coloured.
One of the most frequent questions we hear at Freshdental in Kensington is how long these restorations last. With proper care, tooth coloured fillings in Kensington can last between 5 and 10 years, and often much longer.
To ensure the longevity of your dental work, we recommend:
Excellent Hygiene: Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss every day to prevent new decay from forming around the edges of the filling.
Regular Check-ups: Visit Freshdental in Kensington for routine examinations and professional cleanings.
Mindful Eating: While composite resin is strong, it can chip if subjected to extreme force. Avoid biting down on ice, hard sweets, or non-food items like pens.
Yes, modern composite resins are highly durable and designed to withstand the pressures of chewing. Because they bond directly to the tooth, they often provide better support to the remaining natural structure than traditional amalgam.
While composite resin is resistant to staining, it can pick up surface discolouration over many years, much like natural teeth. Regular professional cleaning at Freshdental in Kensington will help keep your fillings looking bright.
Not at all. At Freshdental in Kensington, your comfort is our priority. We use effective local anaesthetics to ensure you don't feel a thing during the treatment. Most patients find the process no more uncomfortable than a standard cleaning.
The cost depends on the size and location of the cavity. At Freshdental in Kensington, we provide a transparent breakdown of costs following your initial consultation. We also offer various payment plans to make your dental health more manageable.
