White fillings use a tooth-coloured mixture of acrylic resin and powdered glass.
Your dentist applies a local anaesthetic to the affected tooth, before removing the decay. Then they will place the white filling material in layers directly into the cavity, curing each layer before adding another.
After shaping it to match the rest of your tooth’s surface, the dentist will cure your filling with a special light and polish it to smooth any rough texture.
With regular brushing and flossing, white fillings should last at least 5 years.
If a metal filling is coming to the end of its life, we can replace it with an aesthetically pleasing tooth-coloured filling.
If you are experiencing tooth sensitivity and suspect you may need a filling or another restorative procedure, call us on 01925 266 488.
