Composite Fillings

 

Composite fillings are strong and carefully chosen to match the colour of your teeth. They are usually used for smaller areas. First, the dentist prepares your tooth. Then, they apply the filling material and stick it to your tooth with a special glue. After that, they use a special light to make the filling hard and strong.

FAQs on White Fillings

1. Why should I consider white fillings?

Many people have different types of fillings in their teeth. Nowadays, fillings not only serve a practical purpose but also blend in naturally. Many individuals choose to avoid silver fillings, especially when they are visible, because they are more conscious of their appearance when smiling or laughing.

The National Health Service generally does not offer white fillings for the chewing surfaces of back teeth. However, this limitation does not apply to the sides of back teeth or any front teeth. Some people may feel sensitive to the metals used in silver amalgam fillings. In these situations, switching to another type of filling may be recommended, though this option is seldom available on the NHS except in special cases.

As white fillings are often only offered privately, costs can be a consideration. Prices typically vary based on factors like the size and type of white filling, along with the treatment duration. For specific pricing details, please visit our Fee Page, or our dentist can give you a more accurate estimate before starting treatment.

In the past, white fillings were thought to be less durable than silver amalgam fillings. However, advancements in materials have resulted in alternatives that are now comparable to silver amalgam, proving to be very effective. The lifespan of a white filling can vary depending on where it is placed in your mouth and how much pressure your teeth apply when biting. Our dentist can provide advice on how long you can expect your fillings to last.

It’s typically recommended to replace fillings only when your dentist determines it’s necessary due to an old filling needing replacement. In these instances, you can request a tooth-coloured material for the replacement filling. Some dentists may choose not to use white fillings in back teeth, as they might not always offer optimal results. Alternatively, crowns or inlays could be considered, although this may require more extensive tooth preparation and result in higher costs.

Tooth-coloured fillings typically contain glass particles, synthetic resin, and a setting agent in varying compositions. For specific details about the materials used, your dentist can offer more detailed information.

Adhesive dentistry offers a different approach by bonding the filling directly to the tooth, which usually requires less tooth removal, a preferred option. There are also alternatives like crowns and inlays, though these options can be more expensive. Veneers are another alternative for front teeth instead of crowns or fillings.
