End Decay With Natural-Looking White Fillings
Old mercury amalgam fillings are history. A healthy and aesthetic smile with composite white fillings that are the natural colour of your tooth, metal-free and completed in a single session. Minimal cutting, maximum tooth preservation.
A Modern Filling Matched to Your Natural Tooth Colour
A composite filling is a resin-based aesthetic filling material that matches the natural colour of your tooth. Compared with old silver-coloured amalgam fillings, it is a far more aesthetic, metal-free and mercury-free modern option. It bonds chemically to the natural tooth structure, which means less healthy tooth tissue is removed.
At Kadıgil, composite fillings are applied with A+ quality nano-hybrid materials and a layer-by-layer build-up technique. Placed by expert hands, the fillings are indistinguishable to the eye, with the same gloss and smoothness as your natural tooth. The procedure is completed in a single session and you can return to normal eating as soon as you leave.
- Early and moderate tooth decay
- Replacing old amalgam (silver) fillings
- Tooth fractures, small cracks and wear (abrasion, erosion)
- Small aesthetic corrections on front teeth (bonding)
How Is a Composite Filling Applied?
A painless, fast aesthetic solution completed in a single session.
Exam & Shade Match
The size of the decay is assessed and the composite shade best matching your natural tooth colour is chosen. Detailed planning ensures an indistinguishable result.
Step 1Anaesthesia
Local anaesthesia is applied if needed. For surface decay, anaesthesia may not even be necessary. You feel no pain and the procedure is comfortable.
Step 2Decay Removal
Decayed tissue is cleaned away in a minimally invasive way. Because composite bonds chemically to the tooth, the loss of healthy tissue is minimal.
Step 3Filling & Polishing
The composite is applied layer by layer, each cured with a blue light. Finally it is polished to match the texture of your tooth.
Step 4Aesthetic, Healthy and Modern
Far more advantageous than traditional amalgam fillings. Now the standard of modern dentistry, composite fillings stand out for both aesthetics and health.
Natural Appearance
Matches your tooth colour exactly. When you smile or speak, no one can tell a filling is there.
Metal-Free & Mercury-Free
No mercury or metal worries as with amalgam fillings. Healthy, biocompatible modern materials.
Minimum Tooth Loss
Because composite bonds chemically to the tooth, far less healthy tissue is removed than with amalgam. It protects your tooth.
Single Session
The filling takes around 30 minutes. You can eat as soon as you leave and return to your daily life.
An Economical Solution
Much more affordable than zirconium or porcelain fillings. A budget-friendly yet high-quality choice.
Repairable
If a composite filling chips or wears, there's no need to replace it entirely — only the affected area is repaired.

Common Questions About Composite White Fillings
The questions asked most often before treatment.
With quality material and correct application, composite fillings last an average of 5–10 years. Their lifespan depends on oral hygiene, any teeth-grinding habit, the filling's location (front/back tooth) and its size. This time can be extended with regular check-ups.
An amalgam filling is silver-coloured, a metal alloy and contains mercury. A composite filling is a resin-based material that matches your tooth colour. Composite fillings are more aesthetic, metal-free, mercury-free and bond chemically to the tooth. In modern dentistry, amalgam fillings are no longer preferred.
If your existing amalgam filling is sound and you have no aesthetic concerns, you don't have to replace it. However, if there is an aesthetic issue, a cracked filling, secondary decay or a mercury concern, replacing it with composite makes sense. The amalgam is removed with a safe protocol and composite is applied in its place.
No. Under local anaesthesia the procedure is painless. For surface decay, anaesthesia may sometimes not even be needed. Mild sensitivity for 1–2 days afterwards is normal and resolves on its own.
Yes. Composite fillings harden instantly under the blue light, so you can eat as soon as the procedure is finished. If we applied anaesthesia, it's recommended to be careful until the numbness wears off (1–2 hours). You can return to normal eating right after leaving the clinic.
Quality composite materials undergo minimal colour change over time. Staining factors such as tea, coffee, smoking and red wine can cause slight yellowing on the filling surface. With regular brushing and an annual professional cleaning, your filling stays bright for a long time.
Yes. For small chips, shape defects or closing gaps on front teeth, a bonding application with composite material is used. Aesthetic improvement is achieved in a single session without cutting the tooth. For larger aesthetic needs, porcelain veneers or zirconium crowns are recommended.
The price of a composite filling varies by the size of the filling (small/medium/large), the number of surfaces and the tooth's location. A tailored written quote is provided after examination. It is usually an economical procedure completed in a single session. There are no hidden fees.
