No more dark metal fillings. Dr. Sumit Firke uses premium composite resin, perfectly shade-matched to your natural tooth, bonded for strength, and placed in a single appointment.
Dr. Sumit Firke is Dombivli's trusted metal-free dentist, placing tooth-coloured composite fillings with 5× magnification loupes for precision that is simply not possible with the naked eye. Every shade is custom-matched. Every filling is invisible.
He uses only premium international composite brands, 3M Filtek and Tokuyama Estelite, materials trusted by leading cosmetic dentists worldwide.
Composite resin fills cavities invisibly. The material bonds directly to tooth structure, no extra drilling needed for mechanical retention, so less healthy tooth is removed compared to old amalgam fillings.
Composite can also replace existing silver or dark amalgam fillings for a completely metal-free smile. The procedure is completed in a single appointment with no waiting, you leave the same day with a perfect, invisible result.
Your tooth shade is carefully matched using a shade guide and custom trays. The cavity is prepared conservatively, only decayed tissue removed, preserving maximum healthy structure.
A bonding agent is applied, then composite is placed in precise layers, each layer cured and hardened with a UV light. This incremental technique ensures strength and minimises shrinkage.
The filling is sculpted to match your tooth's natural anatomy and contours, then polished to a smooth, high-lustre finish. Completely invisible, indistinguishable from your natural tooth.
The clinical evidence is clear. Here is how tooth-coloured composite compares to old silver amalgam fillings.
| Factor | Composite (Tooth-Coloured) | Amalgam (Silver/Metal) |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Tooth-coloured, invisible | Grey-black, visible when you smile |
| Tooth Structure Removed | Minimal, adhesive bond to tooth | More removal required for mechanical retention |
| Mercury Content | None, completely mercury-free | ~50% mercury by weight |
| Bond to Tooth | Adhesive, chemically bonded, reinforces tooth | Mechanical only, no adhesive bond |
| Durability | 7–10+ years with good care | 10–15 years |
| Starting Cost at Tulip Dental | priced at your free consultation | Not offered, we are metal-free |
On amalgam: Tulip Dental does not place new amalgam fillings. We use only tooth-coloured composite, the material recommended by modern dentistry for its adhesive properties, aesthetics, and absence of mercury. Old amalgam fillings can be safely removed and replaced at any time.
Real patients from Dombivli, Palava, and Kalyan share their experience.
"I had old silver fillings on my back teeth that I was always self-conscious about. Dr. Sumit replaced them all with tooth-coloured ones in two appointments. You cannot tell I ever had fillings, completely natural looking."
"I needed three fillings done and was dreading it. Dr. Firke was so gentle, the injections were barely noticeable and the whole thing was done in under an hour. The fillings match my teeth perfectly. No pain at all."
"Brilliant work. I came in for a routine check-up and Dr. Firke found a small cavity. He filled it the same day with a composite filling that is completely invisible. The clinic is spotless and the team is very professional."
