White or composite fillings use a material made up of a mixture of powdered glass and acrylic resin.
Like conventional fillings, they are used to restore decayed teeth, but as the material is tooth-coloured, they can also improve the appearance of your teeth.
White fillings provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing way to restore decayed and damaged teeth to their optimal functionality and appearance.
White fillings do not expand and contract when exposed to heat, so they preserve the strength of the surrounding tooth better than metal fillings. They are also ideal for patients who experience allergic reactions to metal.
We can use white filling material for a variety of procedures besides filling a cavity such as reshaping teeth, filling in gaps, and repairing chips and minor breaks.
If you wish, we can also remove your old metal fillings and replace them with white fillings for a more seamless smile.
If you need a filling or you would like to have your existing metal work replaced with white fillings, contact our dental team on 020 8224 7562.
