White Fillings in Ipswich

Natural-looking white tooth fillings in Ipswich

At Christchurch Dental, we believe that a healthy smile should also be a beautiful one. White fillings offer a natural-looking alternative to traditional silver fillings, as they are made from a tooth-coloured, composite resin. This means they offer an effective, unnoticeable repair for a decayed or damaged tooth, helping to support its remaining structure and preventing further breakage and sensitivity. They can also be used to replace old silver fillings that may be spoiling your smile.

White fillings are so natural-looking that they can give you the confidence to laugh and smile again.

What to expect during the procedure

Getting a white filling is a straightforward and comfortable procedure. After a thorough examination to assess the area, we will gently prepare the tooth.

We will ensure you are completely comfortable throughout the entire process. Once the tooth is ready, the composite resin is carefully applied and sculpted to the correct shape, and a special light is used to harden it.

Finally, your dentist will polish the filling to a smooth finish, ensuring it blends perfectly with the rest of your tooth. The whole process is designed to be as quick and painless as possible, so you can walk out of our practice with a beautifully restored smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

White fillings are made from a composite resin, which is a durable, tooth-coloured mixture of plastic and finely ground glass particles. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, this composite material can be shaded to match the exact colour of your natural teeth, ensuring that the filling is virtually unnoticeable. The material is strong enough to withstand the pressure of chewing and can be used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay or fracture, providing a seamless and long-lasting repair.
The cost of white tooth fillings can vary depending on the size of the filling and which tooth needs to be treated. Generally, the price is slightly higher than that of traditional silver fillings due to the material cost and the more intricate process of placing and sculpting the filling to match your natural tooth. We believe in complete transparency, and after a thorough examination, we will provide you with a detailed and clear breakdown of all costs before any treatment begins.
Yes, in most cases, you can. Many patients choose to replace their old silver fillings to improve the aesthetics of their smile. The process involves carefully removing the old filling and then preparing the tooth for the new composite resin material. Our dentists are skilled at this procedure and will ensure the replacement is done safely and effectively. Swapping out your old fillings for new white ones can not only enhance the look of your smile but also help to strengthen the remaining tooth structure.
Modern white fillings are very durable and, with good oral hygiene, can last for many years. While historically, silver fillings were considered more long-lasting, advances in composite materials have closed that gap significantly. The lifespan of any filling depends on a variety of factors, including the location of the filling in your mouth and your personal eating and brushing habits. With proper care and regular check-ups, your white fillings can be a long-term and beautiful solution for restoring your smile.
