The advances in bonding techniques over the last few years mean that we are in a position to offer even very large reconstructions in composite (white) materials, even in the back teeth.

The insertion of a resin filling requires meticulous attention to detail to achieve the levels of quality which we are prepared to accept, but still allows us to offer what is proving to be a more than adequate alternative to crowning for all but the most exacting aesthetic situations.

The use of layering techniques allows the achievement of excellent colour and shape in the back teeth, and excellent results in the aesthetically critical front tooth area, even allowing space closure without cutting the tooth in some cases.

Composite fillings are priced from €35 for erosion cavities to €160 for large reconstructions.

New filling methods, materials and bonding agents allow the placement of high quality fillings in the front teeth that can be extraordinary in their beauty and longevity.

Whether closing an unsightly gap or filling large defects and cavities, aesthetic fillings offer an economical alternative to veneers and crowns. Remember, the less the dentist grinds or cuts the tooth, the healthier it will remain!
