Maintain a healthy SMile
natural-looking white tooth fillings
White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are tooth-coloured repairs for cavities or damaged areas of tooth. The composite material is carefully applied in layers, before being hardened with a special light, and polished to match the surrounding teeth and provide a seamless finish.
Composite fillings are suitable for treating small to moderate decay, repairing chipped or worn teeth, and replacing old metal fillings. They offer an aesthetic, long-lasting alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings, maintaining both the function and appearance of your teeth.
Questions & answers
Fillings FAQs
White fillings usually last between five and ten years with proper care. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, bite habits, and location of the filling. Regular dental check-ups help ensure the filling remains intact and identify any signs of wear or damage early.
Composite fillings can be used on both front and back teeth. They are particularly popular for visible teeth due to their natural appearance. However, large restorations may sometimes require alternative treatments, such as crowns, for optimal strength and durability.
The procedure is generally comfortable and minimally invasive. Local anaesthetic is used if needed to numb the area, ensuring no pain during treatment. Most patients experience little to no discomfort and can resume normal activities immediately afterward.
White fillings are made from stain-resistant composite materials, but they can gradually pick up some discoloration from coffee, tea, or smoking. Regular dental cleanings and good oral hygiene help maintain their natural appearance for longer.
Maintain fillings by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly. Avoid biting hard objects, ice, or using teeth as tools, as excessive force can damage the filling.
White composite fillings are typically slightly more expensive than silver amalgam fillings due to their aesthetic benefits and material costs. Many patients consider the improved appearance and durability well worth the investment.
