What are white fillings?
White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a tooth-coloured resin material that bonds directly to your tooth. Unlike older silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings are virtually invisible and require less removal of healthy tooth structure. They are suitable for both front and back teeth and can also be used to replace old amalgam fillings if you prefer a more natural appearance.
Natural appearance
Composite resin is carefully matched to the shade of your existing teeth, making fillings virtually undetectable.
Mercury-free
White fillings contain no mercury or metal, making them a popular choice for patients who prefer a metal-free option.
Less tooth removal
Composite material bonds directly to the tooth, meaning less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed compared to amalgam fillings.
Versatile
White fillings can be used to treat decay, repair chipped or cracked teeth, and replace old amalgam fillings.

The area will be numbed with local anaesthetic before treatment, so you should feel no pain during the procedure. Some mild sensitivity afterwards is normal and usually settles quickly.
This depends on the size and location of the filling and your oral hygiene routine. With good care, white fillings typically last between 5 and 10 years, sometimes longer.
Yes. We use high-quality composite materials that are strong enough for use on back teeth where chewing forces are greatest.
