Why White Fillings?
White Fillings are tooth-coloured composite resin fillings used to restore decayed teeth. They’re also used for aesthetic improvements to the smile. If you have a damaged or disfigured tooth, your Dentist may recommend a White Filling, allowing you to avoid more invasive dental treatments.
What to expect during your white fillings appointment
White Fillings are placed in layers to build up the tooth. Then, your dentist will shape and polish the composite to create a natural, seamless look.
White Fillings are more aesthetically pleasing than silver fillings, especially if the filling is visible from the front of the tooth. Your Dentist can blend different shades of white to create a near-identical match to your actual tooth. Additionally, White Fillings are bonded to the tooth, which helps strengthen the tooth and aid in the prevention of additional breakage.

How are white dental fillings placed?
The process of placing white dental fillings typically involves the following steps:
- Numbing the area: The dentist will administer local anaesthesia to ensure a painless procedure.
- Removing decay: The dentist will remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, creating a clean surface for the filling.
- Tooth preparation: The tooth is etched with a mild acidic solution to create a better bond with the filling material.
- Layering the filling: The dentist will apply the composite resin in layers, shaping and sculpting it to match the natural contours of the tooth.
- Curing the filling: Each layer of the filling material is hardened using a special curing light.
- Polishing and adjusting: Once the filling is complete, the dentist will polish it and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable bite and a natural appearance.
It’s important to note that the specific procedure may vary depending on the dentist’s technique and the individual case.
Recovery & Aftercare
The aftercare advice we give after a white dental filling is applied, is much the same as any dental filling. You may find it beneficial to avoid any chewing and hot beverages until the numbness has completely worn off. This is because It’s easy to bite or burn your tongue and / or lips when you have limited feeling. We recommend soft foods and liquids in the two hours after your white filling – avoid anything hot.
