White fillings

Gone are the days when fillings were unsightly

Today, patients can choose discreet white fillings that blend in seamlessly with their teeth and replace old silver amalgam fillings. With white fillings, you can open your mouth without the worry of exposing an unattractive tooth leaving you more confident about your smile.

What is a white filling?

Just like the name implies, white fillings are made from a white composite resin. They’re placed once decay, plaque, or an old filling has been removed. Once the composite resin material has been carefully shaped and matched to be in keeping with your natural tooth shade, it’s hardened using a UV light, trimmed, and polished to give a shiny and flawless finish.

Not only do white fillings protect your tooth and neighbouring teeth from further decay and damage, they also give your smile back its mojo. Our dental team here in Cheadle have been placing white fillings for many years, and we look forward to helping you on your journey to a healthier and more beautiful smile.

Why replace your amalgam fillings with white fillings?

White fillings are a great choice if you need a filling and want a flawless result. They’re also great for replacing amalgam fillings because:

  • They can restore breaks and chips, in addition to cavities.

  • They’re less sensitive to hot and cold food and drink and therefore less likely to crack.

  • They look authentic in the context of your existing teeth.

  • Less preparation is required than for amalgam fillings.

  • Discoloured patches can be covered with white fillings.

How much do white fillings cost?

We aim to keep our white filling prices extremely competitive compared to other local dentists in the Manchester area.
