What Are White Fillings?
We believe prevention is always better than cure, and we will help you to look after your teeth so that you do not develop tooth decay in the first place. However, if you do have decay and need a filling, our white 'tooth coloured' fillings are both an aesthetic and functional solution.
As well as looking natural, composite and porcelain fillings bond to the tooth well and can withstand the forces in your mouth when you bite and chew, greatly improving the strength of your teeth.
Materials Used For White Fillings
At our clinic, we offer both composite and porcelain white fillings, chosen for their natural appearance and strong bond to the tooth structure.
Porcelain & Composite Fillings
Porcelain veneers are meticulously crafted in a dental laboratory to replicate the natural translucency and strength of tooth enamel. Each veneer is custom-designed to match the shape, colour, and contour of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless and lifelike appearance. The treatment typically involves minimal preparation of the tooth surface, preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Porcelain veneers offer a durable and stain-resistant solution for transforming discoloured, chipped, worn, or slightly misaligned teeth — giving you a long-lasting, confident smile.
Why Choose White Fillings?
Unlike traditional amalgam, white fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, which can actually help strengthen the tooth and reduce the risk of fracture. Both composite and porcelain materials are designed to withstand the natural forces of biting and chewing.
Because they are tooth-coloured, white fillings blend seamlessly with your smile. They are also free from mercury and metal, making them a popular choice for patients seeking a more natural, biocompatible restoration.
