White fillings
Information About This Service
Most people will need a filling at some point in their life, and it’s natural to be concerned about how a filling might look. Since fillings are one of the most common dental treatments, it’s reassuring to know that there are different options available.
White fillings are now a very popular choice because they blend in with the natural colour of your teeth, making them a more discreet alternative to traditional metal fillings. They do not contain mercury and are made from strong, durable materials, making them both safe and long-lasting.
Benefits of White Fillings
- Natural appearance – White fillings are designed to match the shade of your natural teeth, so they blend in seamlessly. This makes them a great option for teeth that are visible when you smile or talk.
- Strong and durable – Modern white filling materials are long-lasting and can withstand everyday chewing and biting forces, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.
- Mercury-free – Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, white fillings do not contain mercury, giving peace of mind to patients who prefer a metal-free option.
- Minimally invasive – Less of the natural tooth structure needs to be removed when placing a white filling compared to a metal filling, helping to keep your tooth stronger in the long term.
- Versatile – White fillings can be used to repair cavities, replace old fillings, and even reshape or rebuild chipped or worn teeth.
At Borrowash Dental Care, we are pleased to offer white fillings as an alternative to metal fillings, helping you achieve a healthy smile with a natural-looking finish.
