What are White Fillings?

Tooth-coloured or ‘white’ fillings are constructed of composite and resin materials that come in various shades to match your natural tooth shade for an almost unnoticeable finish. They are often preferred over traditional filling (silver filling) materials due to their appearance and ability to bond to tooth tissue, allowing for minimal tooth preparation and preservation of healthy tissue.

Why do I need a filling?

Fillings are needed for various reasons, including aesthetic improvement, dental wear, and tooth decay. Whatever the cause for your filling, Gloucester Dental Specialists is happy to provide comprehensive solutions to meet your needs.

What types of fillings are available?

At Gloucester Dental Specialists, we utilise composite fillings, sometimes known as white fillings, since they are attractive and help preserve natural teeth.

Amalgam or silver fillings are occasionally used on posterior teeth. They are a mix of metals, including mercury, silver, tin, and copper.

Composite fillings, sometimes called “white fillings,” are tooth-coloured restorations made of composite resin and glass. They come in a range of colours, allowing us to match the material to the colour of your natural teeth.

Another form of tooth-coloured filling made of powdered glass is glass ionomer fillings. This develops a chemical relationship with your tooth and may result in fluoride release, which helps to prevent future decay.
