If you have a tooth that requires treatment due to decay or damage, you no longer have to put up with a mercury amalgam filling.

White fillings are the discreet alternative to amalgam ‘silver’ fillings. They are matched to the shade of your tooth, allowing you to laugh, smile and chew without any feelings of self-consciousness.

When is a white filling recommended?

  • When a tooth has suffered a crack or chip due to trauma or bruxism (tooth grinding). It is suitable for repairing both front and back teeth.
  • When there is a mild amount of decay present that does not necessitate a more restorative solution.
  • Patients with old amalgam fillings may wish to replace these with a fresh and more discreet filling.

How we can help

Step 1) Examination

We will check to see if your tooth can indeed be repaired with a white filling. More extensive cases of decay or damage may require an inlay or onlay, or a crown.

Step 2) Treating the tooth

We may use a local anaesthetic to render the area around the tooth numb. Once we have cleaned the tooth out, removing all the decay, we can place and shape the filling material. Your tooth will be hardened with a UV light, to set the filling material in place.

FAQs

What are the advantages of white fillings vs traditional fillings?

  • White fillings don’t react to temperature changes. This means they are less likely to become damaged as a result of contracting and expanding.
  • They are tooth coloured.
  • They are completely metal-free.
  • They can be fitted in just one appointment. In many cases, it takes only 1 hour to prepare and treat your tooth with a white filling.
  • The white fillings process does not require much natural tooth structure to be removed – they’re a conservative type of filling.
