Mercury-free composite fillings shade-matched to your teeth at Ossom Aesthetic Clinic, Basaveshwar Nagar — invisible restorations that restore strength and confidence in a single visit.
Our tooth-colored fillings use high-quality composite resin that bonds directly to your tooth, requiring less removal of healthy structure than traditional silver amalgam fillings.
Cavities treated early at Ossom stay small, comfortable and affordable — preventing decay from progressing to a root canal.
Composite resins are individually selected to match the precise shade and translucency of your surrounding teeth — the result is a filling that is completely invisible even under close inspection.
We use only mercury-free, BPA-free biocompatible composite materials — no toxic metals, no grey discolouration of surrounding tooth structure. Safe for patients of all ages.
Composite resin bonds adhesively to tooth structure, meaning our dentists remove only the decayed portion — preserving far more healthy enamel and dentine than traditional metal fillings require.
A quick, painless, and highly precise 4-step process completed in a single visit.
We use digital X-rays to assess the extent of the decay. Before any work begins, we use a specialized shade guide to select the exact composite color that matches your natural tooth.
Local anaesthesia is applied to ensure you are entirely comfortable. The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully and conservatively removed, leaving all healthy structure intact.
The tooth is conditioned, and the composite resin is applied in thin layers. Each layer is instantly hardened (cured) using a specialized blue dental light to ensure a strong, durable bond.
The filling is sculpted to match the natural anatomy of your tooth. We check your bite to ensure it feels perfectly normal, then polish the resin to a high, stain-resistant shine.
We have always been a mercury-free practice. Every cavity is treated with premium biocompatible composites, precisely shade-matched and polished to a smooth finish by experienced dentists.

Understanding the differences makes it easy to see why tooth-colored composite is the preferred choice for patients who want a safe, invisible and tooth-friendly restoration.
| Aspect | Composite (Tooth Colored) | Amalgam (Silver Metal) |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Perfectly matches natural tooth shade — completely invisible. | Silver-grey colour that is clearly visible. |
| Mercury content | Mercury-free — safe for all ages including children. | Contains approximately 50% mercury by weight. |
| Tooth preparation | Minimal — only the decayed area is removed. Preserves tooth. | Requires removal of healthy tooth to create mechanical retention. |
| Bonding | Adhesively bonds to tooth structure for a tight seal. | Does not bond — held mechanically. May allow microleakage. |
| Lifespan | 7–10+ years with proper care and regular check-ups. | 10–15 years, but causes long-term tooth discolouration. |
We do not place amalgam fillings at Ossom Aesthetic Clinic. We offer safe removal of old silver fillings and replacement with natural-looking composite restorations.
