Fillings

Many people now prefer white fillings as they give a natural appearance and avoid the obvious metallic look of traditional silver amalgam. Modern composite materials also offer many of the same qualities as amalgam, giving a durable and reliable filling without any metal.

White fillings blend beautifully into your natural teeth, and can’t be seen when you talk, laugh or smile. We ensure the composite resin material is meticulously colour-matched to the shade of your natural teeth for the most aesthetic repair possible.

Yes, if you are unhappy with the look of your silver fillings, we can change them to white composite for a more aesthetic appearance. We remove the entire silver filling, clean your tooth thoroughly and add the composite. Please contact us for a personalised quote and consultation.

Yes, one of the main advantages of composite is that it bonds to itself, allowing us to add new layers to repair minor damage without always replacing the entire filling. Some cases may need a full replacement, but this still can be achieved in a single appointment.

The best way to look after your white filling is to simply treat it as part of your natural tooth. Brush and floss twice a day to prevent decay forming and visit your dentist for regular check-up appointments.
