White fillings are the discreet, tooth-coloured alternative to amalgam (silver) fillings.

We can replace old unsightly fillings that stand out in your mouth when you smile and treat cavities and damage using white fillings.

White fillings: at a glance

• Discreet type of filling made from tooth-coloured composite resin.
• They won’t crack and chip in response to temperature change (they’re durable).
• Less tooth is cut when compared to silver fillings
• Completely metal-free.
• They treat cavities (holes in your teeth caused by acid attacks).
• Can be completed in one appointment.

Natural-looking solution for restoring your teeth

White fillings are barely noticeable once they’re placed in your mouth. They match your natural tooth shade, so you don’t have to worry about other people noticing them when your teeth are exposed.

White fillings can also be used to improve problems like chips, cracks and the appearance of your front teeth. When used in this way, the white fillings process is also described as composite bonding. This process can be planned by straightening and whitening your teeth to give you the smile you desire.

Frequently asked questions

How can I avoid future cavities?

Cavities can be symptomless, so routine dental check-ups twice a year are important, as dentists have the equipment to thoroughly examine every corner of your mouth. Using magnification, we can pick up on enamel erosion, which is the first evidence that a cavity could be on its way. When spotted early, this can give you the chance to change your diet and oral hygiene routine, so that you can avoid a developing cavity.

Preventative dentistry is key for making sure you don’t need complex treatment in the future.

How long does it take to get a white filling?

It should take only one appointment to clean the decay from your tooth and fill it with the composite filling material.
