A brighter, happier smile
White composite fillings offer a versatile and attractive alternative to traditional metal fillings. They are primarily used to repair tooth decay and cavities, but can also be used to seal a tooth after root canal treatment.
White fillings look great, and can be as strong as your natural teeth.
Your white filling treatment
If you have a cavity, your dentist may recommend a white filling as the best course of action. Local anaesthetics enable the treatment to be virtually pain-free.
Your dentist will first remove any decayed material before filling the cavity with the composite material and smoothing it out. The result will then be hardened using a special UV light.
The advantages of white fillings
White fillings are almost invisible because they are coloured match to your natural teeth. Other advantages include:
- White fillings are stronger and longer lasting than metal ones
- They require the removal of less tooth material than traditional, amalgam fillings
- They don’t contain any metal that might potentially be harmful to your health
- They are less likely to cause sensitivity to hot or cold
- Composite resins can also be used to restore broken, worn or chipped teeth
White fillings FAQs
Fillings are a common method of restoring decayed teeth. If your dentist needs to remove infected material from your tooth, they may suggest either a metal or a white composite filling to seal it.
Although your composite filling will be hard enough for eating as soon as your procedure is finished, it’s a good idea to wait a few hours for any numbness in your gums or cheeks to disappear.
A good oral health routine is important for all your teeth. We recommend twice-daily brushing and flossing, as well as regular hygiene appointments.
White fillings can stain if you consume certain foods or drinks. Rinsing the mouth after a meal can help prevent this.
To keep your smile nice and white it may be worth considering alternatives to red wine, coffee, tea, some spices and dark sauces. Smoking can also cause discolouration and should be avoided if possible.
