White fillings are a type of dental restoration used to improve the appearance of teeth. They are also used to restore decayed or damaged teeth. This treatment may be required after a cavity or root canal treatment.

Dental filling procedure

White fillings are designed to match the natural colour of your teeth. This makes them less noticeable than silver amalgam fillings. Since they do not contain any metal, they are also less sensitive to hot and cold, so you will have less discomfort. We can replace ageing amalgam fillings with white fillings to improve the appearance of your teeth.

The procedure starts by removing the old filling or the decayed portion of the tooth. The area is then cleaned and prepared for the new filling. Once the new filling is in place, it will be smoothed to ensure a comfortable bite and to avoid any sharp edges. The whole procedure usually takes less than an hour to complete. There are a number of advantages to dental fillings:

  • Restore your teeth and protect them from further damage.
  • White fillings blend in with the surrounding teeth.
  • Quick and comfortable procedure with no downtime.

Your treatment journey

1
Book your checkup

During your routine checkup, we will look for signs of decay in your teeth. If there is any damage, we may recommend a filling.

2
Preparing the tooth

We start by removing the damaged portion of the tooth and then cleaning the hole thoroughly.

3
Filling the hole

We fill the hole using a special composite resin that looks similar to the rest of your tooth structure to help it blend in.

4
Checking your bite

We'll make small adjustments to the top of the filling to make sure you can bite down easily and without discomfort.

5
Aftercare support

With the right care, your dental filling could last up to 10 years, so we'll give you all the help you need to take good care of your teeth.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We can replace your old fillings with new white fillings. We may also recommend other treatment options such as dental crowns or veneers to improve the appearance of your smile.

Yes. We offer white fillings as an alternative to traditional silver fillings. White fillings are made from a tooth-coloured composite material and can be used to repair teeth that are damaged, decayed or discoloured.

Fillings typically last between 5 and 15 years depending on the type of material used and how well you care for your teeth. To help ensure that your fillings last as long as possible, it is important to practice good oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly for checkups.

In most cases, a filling does not hurt. Many patients find that their discomfort is reduced after the numbing effect of the anaesthetic has worn off. However, some patients may experience pain or sensitivity following their treatment. We will discuss any concerns that you have about potential pain or discomfort and offer tips for managing any side effects.

Yes. We offer emergency appointments for patients who are experiencing dental pain or have suffered an injury to their teeth. Our experienced dentists will work with you to determine the best course of treatment and help you to manage any discomfort that you may be experiencing. If you are in need of emergency care, please call us today to schedule an appointment.

The alternative to a filling is usually a dental crown. A dental crown is a type of dental restoration that can be used to repair a tooth that is damaged, decayed or misshapen. It can also be used to support a dental bridge or cover a dental implant.
