Tooth Coloured Dental Fillings in London

Not everyone wants silver fillings that show when they smile or laugh. Our white fillings (or composite dental fillings) are made up of a composite resin that is coloured to match the shade of your teeth.

This material has big advantages over traditional metal fillings. It chemically bonds to the teeth unlike amalgam and it does not contain mercury. These beautiful strong materials mean you can laugh and smile without anyone ever noticing your fillings.

If we find a cavity that needs to be filled, we can talk through all the options available and see if tooth-coloured fillings could work for you.

White. Gold. Silver. There are a number of dental filling options available to you at Freshdental. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Silver, or amalgam is the most common traditional filling material. Although it is the least expensive , it isn’t the most attractive choice and requires more healthy parts of the tooth to be removed during filling preparation as it does not chemically bond to the tooth. It also contains mercury.

The main advantage of a tooth-coloured filling is that it looks more natural. If you don’t want your filling to be seen, this is an ideal choice for you. The same materials can even be used to repair chipped, broken or worn teeth.

Composite fillings can be used for holes of various sizes.

An added benefit of composite fillings is that they bond to the inside walls of the tooth cavity. This reduces the amount of drilling required and seals and protects the inside of the tooth from bacteria.
