White fillings
Ideal for restoring cracking or chipped teeth, white fillings will improve their strength and appearance, giving you more confidence in your smile.
Our friendly team of dentists will ensure you are comfortable and explain how your white fillings can be blended to match the colour of your teeth and how they help in protecting and restoring your oral health.
What are white fillings?
White fillings can be used to create tough, durable and attractive repairs for your teeth, as well as being used to fix minor imperfections such as cracks and chips.
If your tooth is decayed or broken, you may need to have a filling to protect it from further damage. White fillings give you an aesthetically pleasing option that will enable you to enjoy strong, repaired teeth and restore your smile.
Why choose white fillings?
As a leading cosmetic choice, white fillings improve both strength and appearance. White fillings are made from a composite resin that can be blended to ensure they match the natural shade of your teeth. This blending means they will be completely indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Benefits of white fillings

Your white fillings journey
Your dentist will complete an examination to assess if white fillings are required. Local anaesthesia is used to ensure your comfort and the damaged or decay part of the tooth is removed.
The tooth will be cleaned and a bonding agent will be applied. Your dentist will then apply the composite resin in layers, building up your white filling.
Each layer is hardened, and the dentist sculpts the material to match the natural shape of your tooth. The filling will then be polished to ensure a smooth finish. Your bite alignment is checked and any minor adjustments are made.
Throughout the procedure, our dentists will ensure you are comfortable and deliver the highest standards of professionalism and care.
