White Fillings

White Fillings

Restore Your Smile Naturally

White fillings are a modern and natural-looking alternative to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. Made from durable composite resin, white fillings are carefully matched to the shade of your natural teeth, allowing them to match your surrounding teeth without drawing attention.

What are white fillings?

White fillings are commonly used to repair teeth affected by decay, minor fractures, or worn areas while maintaining a more aesthetic appearance. They can also be used to replace older silver fillings, improving both the look of your teeth and your confidence when smiling.

At Cardiff Dental and Aesthetics Centre, our dental team carefully places white fillings with precision and attention to detail, ensuring a strong, comfortable, and natural-looking result.

Patient Results

Why choose white fillings?

White fillings are a popular choice for patients who want to restore their teeth without the noticeable appearance of metal fillings.

  • Natural tooth-coloured appearance — Matched precisely to the shade of your natural teeth so they blend in perfectly.

  • Replaces old silver fillings — Remove the metal and restore with a natural-looking white composite restoration.

  • Bonds securely to the tooth — White composite resin bonds directly to the tooth structure, helping to strengthen it.

  • Helps strengthen weakened teeth — The bonding process can reinforce a tooth that has been weakened by decay or wear.

  • Mercury-free — A modern, safe alternative to traditional amalgam fillings.

  • Durable and long-lasting — With good care and regular check-ups, white fillings are built to last.

Changing silver fillings to white fillings

Many patients choose to replace old silver fillings for cosmetic reasons or because existing fillings have become worn over time. By changing amalgam fillings to white composite fillings, teeth can look more natural and blend beautifully with the rest of your smile. During your consultation, we can assess your current fillings and advise whether replacement is appropriate.

Your journey to a healthier, more natural smile

Here’s what to expect:

  • 1

    Consultation — Your journey begins with a consultation where we examine your teeth, discuss any concerns, and assess whether white fillings are the best treatment option for you.

  • 2

    Treatment planning — We carefully plan your treatment, whether you need a new filling or would like to replace existing silver fillings with white composite restorations.

  • 3

    White filling treatment — The affected tooth is gently prepared, and the composite material is carefully placed in layers, shaped, and bonded securely to the tooth. The filling is polished to create a smooth, natural finish that feels comfortable and blends perfectly with your smile.

Frequently asked questions about White Fillings

How long do white fillings last?

With good care and regular check-ups, white composite fillings are built to last for many years. Their longevity depends on the size and location of the filling and your oral hygiene routine. We can advise you on the best way to care for your white fillings at your appointment.

Will my white filling be noticeable?

No. White composite fillings are matched precisely to the shade of your natural teeth, so they blend in seamlessly. Most people cannot tell the difference between a white filling and a natural tooth.

Can I replace my old silver fillings with white ones?

Yes. Many patients choose to replace old amalgam fillings for cosmetic reasons or because they have become worn over time. During your consultation, our team will assess your existing fillings and advise whether replacement is the right option for you.

Is getting a white filling painful?

We use local anaesthetic to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients find the treatment straightforward and experience very little discomfort. If you are anxious about dental treatment, please let us know and we will do everything we can to put you at ease.

Are white fillings safe?

Yes. White composite fillings are made from durable resin material and are entirely mercury-free, making them a modern, safe alternative to traditional amalgam fillings.
