Tooth Coloured Fillings
Restore damaged or decayed teeth with discreet, tooth-coloured fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural smile. A modern, safe and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional metal fillings.
What Are White Fillings?
Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as white or composite fillings, are used to restore teeth affected by decay, wear or minor fractures. They are carefully colour-matched to your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible once placed.
Unlike traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, white fillings are designed with aesthetics in mind. They allow you to smile, speak and laugh confidently without visible dental work.
Did you know?
White fillings can often be completed in a single visit with immediate results.
A Modern Alternative to Metal Fillings
White fillings are made from advanced composite resin that bonds directly to your tooth. This means less drilling is required and more of your natural tooth structure can be preserved.
In addition to improving appearance, composite fillings help reinforce the remaining tooth, providing both strength and durability. They are an excellent option for both new cavities and replacing older metal fillings for a more natural look.

THE TREATMENT PROCESS What to Expect
White fillings are a straightforward and comfortable procedure, usually completed in one visit:
1. Consultation & assessment
We examine your tooth, take any necessary X-rays and confirm whether a filling is the best solution for your needs.
2. Preparation of the tooth
The affected area is gently cleaned and any decay is removed, preserving as much healthy tooth as possible.
3. Application & shaping
The composite material is applied in layers, carefully shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth.
4. Hardening & polishing
A special light is used to set the material, followed by polishing for a smooth, natural-looking finish.
You’ll leave the practice with a restored tooth that looks and feels completely natural.
