White Fillings

White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a type of dental restoration made from a tooth-colored resin material. They are used to repair cavities, chipped teeth, or other damage.

Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, which are metal-based, white fillings blend in with the natural color of your teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Why Choose White Fillings

White fillings, also known as composite resin fillings, are a modern, versatile, and cosmetically appealing alternative to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of their benefits:

NATURAL APPEARANCE

They blend perfectly with your teeth. No metallic shine, no dark spots. Ideal for front teeth or any visible area.

TOOTH PRESERVATION

Less drilling. More of your real tooth stays intact because white fillings bond directly to the enamel and dentin.

MERCURY-FREE & SAFER

Unlike amalgam, they contain zero mercury, making them a safer, more biocompatible choic, especially for long-term health.

STRONG BONDING & STRENGHTENI

Composite resin bonds chemically to your tooth, reinforcing the structure and helping prevent breakage or future decay.

How Do White Fillings Work?

White fillings work through a multi-step process that involves preparing the tooth, applying the filling material, and curing it to harden.

This process results in a strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing restoration that blends well with your natural teeth. Regular care and check-ups will help maintain the integrity of white fillings over time.

How Do I Care After My

White Fillings Treatment?

After getting white fillings, it's important to follow some care guidelines to ensure the best results and maintain your oral health. Here are some tips:

  • Avoid Eating Right Away: If you received local anaesthesia, wait until the numbness wears off before eating or drinking to avoid biting your cheek or tongue.
  • Stick to Soft Foods: For the first 24 hours, try to eat soft foods and avoid hard or sticky items that could dislodge or damage the filling.
  • Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth gently twice a day and floss daily. Be careful around the filled area but ensure it's included in your routine to prevent decay.
  • Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: White fillings can stain over time, so try to limit consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining foods for the first few days.
  • Monitor Sensitivity: Some sensitivity to hot or cold is normal after getting fillings. If it persists for more than a few weeks or becomes severe, contact your dentist.
  • Use Non-Abrasive Toothpaste: Choose a toothpaste that is gentle and non-abrasive to protect the filling material.
  • Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule regular visits with your dentist to monitor the health of your fillings and overall dental health.
  • By following these guidelines, you can help ensure your white fillings last longer and maintain the health of your teeth.

Should I Change from Amalgam Fillings to White Fillings?

According to the Oral Health Foundation, approximately 80% of British adults have at least one filling, with the average being around seven per person.

Fillings are commonly used to treat cavities by removing decayed material and restoring the tooth with a protective seal that prevents further damage.

Regular dental check-ups are essential, as faulty fillings can expose the tooth’s root to bacteria, potentially causing severe pain or tooth loss.

While fillings can last many years, some people choose to replace them for cosmetic reasons, often opting for white (composite) fillings, though these may not be suitable in all cases.
