White Fillings
White fillings offer a discreet way to repair teeth affected by decay, wear or minor damage. Made from a tooth-coloured composite resin, they are bonded directly to the tooth and shaped to blend in with your natural smile.
We use composite resin that is carefully colour-matched to your natural teeth, so the repair blends in rather than standing out. This makes white fillings a popular alternative to traditional metal amalgam, particularly for fillings in visible areas of the mouth.
The material bonds directly to the remaining healthy tooth structure, which can help preserve more of your natural tooth compared with some older filling techniques. Treatment is usually completed in a single visit under local anaesthetic.
How long do white fillings last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, white fillings can provide many years of reliable service. Your dentist will monitor them at your routine visits.
Are white fillings suitable for back teeth?
Yes, modern composite materials are designed to withstand the bite forces involved in chewing and can be used in both front and back teeth, depending on your dentist’s assessment.
Will a white filling match the colour of my teeth?
Your dentist will select a composite shade that closely matches your natural tooth colour, so the filling blends in with the rest of your smile.
