White fillings are an excellent way to repair decayed or damaged teeth while maintaining a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

At Alexandra Dental, our dentists offer composite fillings to restore cavities and repair worn or chipped teeth, giving you a subtle, seamless smile.

Many patients opt for white fillings over traditional metal fillings because they are virtually undetectable and can be colour-matched to your natural teeth, providing a discreet solution that blends perfectly with your smile.

How Do White Fillings Work?

Fillings are necessary when teeth are damaged by decay, trauma, or wear and tear. White fillings, made from composite resin, offer an advanced alternative to metal fillings, providing a more natural finish.

The Process

During the procedure, the dentist will carefully remove the decayed or damaged part of the tooth and clean the cavity. The composite resin is then bonded directly to the enamel and dentine of the tooth, restoring both its strength and appearance.

Unlike traditional metal fillings, white fillings allow your dentist to preserve more of the natural tooth structure, as only the decayed portion is removed. The bonding process also helps reinforce the tooth, improving its durability.

Composite Bonding: An Additional Option for Your Smile

In addition to white fillings, composite bonding is another effective treatment for improving the appearance of your smile. This procedure involves applying composite resin directly to the surface of the tooth to correct imperfections such as chips, gaps, and discolouration. It is a non-invasive option that requires little to no preparation of the natural tooth. For more details, you can read about our composite bonding services.

Quality Materials and Guarantees

At Alexandra Dental, we use Venus Pearl and GC Gaenial composites, which are highly regarded by dental professionals for their natural appearance, durability, and performance.

We are confident in the quality of our white composite fillings, which is why we offer a one-year guarantee on all fillings. If any issues arise, we will be happy to rectify them promptly.

Benefits of White Fillings

White fillings offer numerous advantages over metal fillings, making them a popular choice for many patients. Here are some key benefits:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: White fillings are tooth-coloured and can be colour-matched to your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible and blending seamlessly with your smile. This is especially important for front teeth, where appearance is a key concern.
  • Strength and Durability: The composite resin used in white fillings helps strengthen the natural tooth, and the bonding process offers added stability.
  • Minimal Impact on Surrounding Teeth: Because only the damaged portions of the tooth are removed, white fillings cause minimal disruption to the surrounding healthy tooth structure.
  • No Metal or Mercury: White fillings contain no metal or mercury, making them a safer, more bio-compatible option for many patients.
  • Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, white fillings can last for up to seven years, providing long-term results and excellent value
