In addition to traditional amalgam fillings, we’re thrilled to be offering aesthetic white fillings, which can be blended to match the shade of your natural teeth.

They’re a fantastic, discreet way of repairing a tooth, allowing you to smile and open your mouth with confidence. Like conventional fillings, white fillings repair cavities, prevent further decay and can be used to reshape and rebuild worn teeth.

What should I expect when getting a white filling?

After an initial examination, the decayed matter is removed from the cavity and the filling is bonded directly to your tooth – the fact that it’s bonded directly means any future repairs are much easier to carry out. We offer state-of-the-art Airflow Tooth Polishing, which effectively removes almost 100% of plaque and tartar before you have your filling.

What makes white fillings so great?

• Highly aesthetic filling: as white fillings are made to match your natural tooth shade, they are virtually invisible. Feel confident when you smile, chew and speak around others.
• Versatile: Can be used to rebuild and shape worn tooth edges. They can also obscure discoloured patches that cannot be removed through teeth whitening and scale and polish treatment.
• Less preparation than regular fillings: less preparation involved means less time in the dentist’s chair for patients.
• Less sensitive to temperature change: unlike traditional fillings, white fillings don’t contract and expand with temperature changes (when you consume certain food and drink for example), which makes them more durable.
