White fillings are a contemporary alternative to traditional metal fillings, providing a tooth‑coloured restoration that is strong and durable. Whether you need a new filling or are looking to replace older silver ones, white fillings are a discreet option.
If you’re replacing an existing filling, the old metal material is carefully removed. A tooth-coloured resin is then placed into the space, shaped to fit naturally with your bite, and hardened with a curing light. The final result is polished to match the texture and shade of your surrounding teeth.
White fillings are made from a durable composite material which is bonded directly to the surface of your tooth. They can tolerate chewing, biting and every day function.
If you are thinking about replacing old amalgam fillings or simply want a more tooth-coloured solution for a new cavity, white fillings may be for you.
White fillings are generally safe and well tolerated, but as with any dental restoration there are potential risks. These may include temporary sensitivity, the need for the filling to be adjusted or replaced over time, or rare reactions to the materials used. Your dentist will discuss these risks with you and explain whether a white filling is suitable for your individual situation.
