Mercury-Free Composite
Dental Fillings in Camberley
Mercury-free, tooth-coloured composite fillings that match your natural teeth - virtually invisible.
At Accord Dental Practice in Camberley, we use only tooth-coloured composite resin - matched precisely to the shade of your natural teeth. We do not place mercury (amalgam) fillings. Composite resin bonds directly to tooth structure, allowing a more conservative preparation.
