Frequently
Asked
Questions

Wondering about white fillings? Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. Whether you're considering your options or preparing for treatment, these insights will help you feel informed and reassured.
What are white fillings made from?

White fillings are made from a composite resin - a tooth-coloured material that blends naturally with your teeth. It bonds securely to enamel and can be shaped to match your tooth’s original form.

Are white fillings as strong as metal ones?

Modern white fillings are strong and reliable, especially for small to medium cavities. For larger fillings or areas under heavy pressure, we’ll recommend the most suitable material during your consultation.

Will the filling be noticeable?

White fillings are designed to be virtually invisible. We carefully match the shade to your natural teeth, so the result looks smooth and seamless.

How long do white fillings last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, white fillings can last many years. Their longevity depends on factors like size, location, and bite pressure.

Is the procedure painful?

We use local anaesthetic to numb the area, so you should feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. Most patients find it quick and easy.

The Process

Pre-Treatment

Before placing a white filling, we’ll examine your tooth and take X-rays if needed. We’ll discuss your treatment plan and answer any questions, ensuring you feel fully informed and at ease.

Treatment

During your appointment, we gently remove any decay and clean the area. The white filling is applied in layers, carefully shaped, and hardened with a special light. We then check your bite and polish the tooth for a smooth, natural finish.

Post-Treatment

You can usually eat and drink as normal once the anaesthetic wears off. Some mild sensitivity is common for a few days but should settle quickly. We’ll give you aftercare advice to help maintain your filling and overall oral health.

Sides Effects & Risks

White fillings are a safe and well-tolerated treatment. Some patients may experience short-term sensitivity or slight discomfort after placement. In rare cases, a filling may require adjustment or replacement over time.

Prevent Further Damage and Discomfort

Untreated cavities can lead to pain, infection, or more complex dental procedures. A white filling helps restore and protect your tooth before problems worsen.
