Tooth decay is common, but restoring your tooth shouldn’t change your smile.
At Hanwell Smiles, we use advanced tooth-coloured composite fillings to stop decay, protect your teeth, and restore their function. These modern materials are carefully matched to your tooth shade, so your restoration blends in perfectly — strong, discreet, and built to last.
Unlike older metal fillings, composites bond directly to your tooth surface, helping preserve more of your healthy structure. They’re comfortable, durable, and completely safe — no metal, no mercury, just a natural-looking solution that feels and functions like your own tooth. Whether it’s a small cavity or a replacement for an old filling, we take the time to ensure precise, high-quality results that keep your smile healthy and beautiful.
