White Fillings

Fillings come to the aid of your tooth when decay strikes.

Our tooth-coloured and amalgam-free white fillings look right at home in your mouth, blending in with your smile and protecting your tooth.

Treatment Introduction

  • Amalgam-free fillings (containing no mercury).
  • Suitable when minor-moderate decay has occurred.
  • Choose to swap out your amalgam fillings with white fillings.
  • Tooth-coloured filling option.

White Fillings Benefits

A Natural-Looking Option

White fillings are tooth-coloured, so they won’t stand out when you open your mouth or smile.

Straightforward Treatment Process

The placement of white fillings involves adhering the filling directly to the tooth. This modern practice simplifies the filling process for the patient.

Little or No Structure Removed

In many cases, there is no need to remove a portion of your natural tooth, making white fillings a conservative way to repair your tooth.

Your Patient Journey

Consultation

If you are new to the practice, a full dental examination must be completed, including a set of X-rays. You will be carefully examined to identify if a white filling is the appropriate treatment.

Treatment Visit

If you are happy to go ahead, we will book you for a treatment visit, during which anaesthetic is used to numb the tooth. The decay is cleaned out from within the tooth, and the filling matches your tooth shade. Your dentist will ensure it has been moulded to fit the tooth’s unique contours and shape.

FAQs

Why are white fillings preferable to amalgam fillings?

Today’s white fillings are extremely hardwearing. They contain ceramics that are designed to reinforce their capacity to fend off tooth wear, so you can have the peace of mind that your bite is protected (providing you take good care of your teeth on a day-to-day basis).

How long does a white filling last?

White fillings can last an average of 7-15 years, though the exact timeframe will depend on how you care for them.
