Fillings so discreet only you know they're there
White fillings, or composite fillings, are the natural-looking alternative to traditional amalgam. Carefully colour matched to your existing teeth, they restore the strength and function of a damaged or decayed tooth while blending in seamlessly.
We use mercury-free composite materials as standard and take care to preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. Whether you’re replacing old amalgam fillings or treating a new cavity, the result should be discreet, durable and in keeping with the rest of your teeth.
Natural-looking results that create a confidence building smile crafted to suit your individual preferences and teeth.

The procedure for a white filling is completed in a single appointment. Treated much in the same way as an amalgam filling, the tooth is first cleaned and prepared. The composite resin is then applied in layers and shaped carefully to restore the natural contour of the tooth.
It’s then set using a dental curing light. A final polish ensures a smooth, natural finish. Most white fillings are completed under local anaesthetic and the appointment typically takes around 45 minutes per tooth.

Modern composite materials are highly durable and suitable for most filling situations. For very large restorations in high-pressure areas, we may recommend an inlay or onlay as a more robust alternative. We’ll advise you on the most appropriate option at your appointment.
Yes. Many patients choose to replace old amalgam fillings for aesthetic reasons or concerns about mercury content. We’ll assess the existing fillings and confirm whether replacement is appropriate.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, white fillings typically last seven to 10 years. Avoiding biting on very hard objects and attending regular hygiene appointments will help protect them.
