CALL NOW FOR WHITE FILLINGS
WHITE FILLINGS
Fillings are pretty standard nowadays, and there are several reasons you may need one. Fillings are typically used to rectify cavities or tooth decay. Alternatively, you may have old, worn-out silver or amalgam fillings that have made the surrounding tooth appear grey over time. Here at Epsom Smiles, we can replace these with modern, tooth-coloured fillings to achieve a beautiful, natural-looking result.
WHITE FILLINGS Faqs
What are white fillings made from?
White fillings are made from composite resin — a durable, tooth-coloured material that bonds directly to the tooth for a natural and strong restoration.
Are white fillings better than metal fillings?
For most patients, yes. White fillings look natural, contain no metal, and bond to the tooth structure, helping preserve more of your natural enamel.
How long do white fillings last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, white fillings typically last 5–10 years, sometimes longer depending on size and placement.
Does getting a white filling hurt?
No. The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, and most patients feel nothing during treatment. Any sensitivity afterwards usually settles quickly.
