White Fillings in Surbiton

White Fillings

A healthy smile is your best asset – but even with good care, cavities can occur. When they do, a white filling in Surbiton is the perfect solution. White fillings blend with your natural teeth, restoring both function and beauty.

Cavities are usually caused by plaque buildup that hardens into tartar, which only professional cleaning can fully remove. By brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and keeping up with your dental checkups, you can often prevent cavities.

However, if one does develop, white fillings will be the most suitable treatment option.

Signs You May Need a Filling


  • Sharp pain when eating hot or cold foods and drinks.
  • Ongoing discomfort from toothache that doesn't go away.
  • Noticeable holes and dark spots on your tooth.
  • Frequent food particles get stuck in one spot.
  • Pain or difficulty when chewing.
  • Unpleasant tastes in the mouth

Why We Recommend White Fillings

White fillings are our go-to choice for treating tooth decay because they look natural and are highly effective.

Unlike traditional metal fillings, which can be quite noticeable, white fillings are custom-matched to the shade of your teeth, so they blend in seamlessly. This subtle approach not only improves the appearance of your smile but also protects your tooth from further decay.

By sealing the cavity with a strong bonding material, white fillings create a solid foundation that prevents additional damage and helps maintain your overall oral health.

Do You Offer Other Types of Fillings?

While white fillings are a popular choice for their natural look, we know every patient has different needs and preferences. At The Dental Connection, your dentist will explain all your options in detail so that you can make an informed decision.

If you decide that white fillings aren’t right for you, we also offer alternatives such as amalgam fillings and onlays. Whether you're dealing with a cavity or looking for the best restorative option, our experienced team is here to guide you every step of the way.

FAQs

What materials are white fillings made of?

White fillings are typically made from composite resin – a tooth-coloured material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

How long do white fillings typically last?

With good care, white fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years, and sometimes even longer.

Can white fillings go on front teeth?

Yes, white fillings are an excellent choice for front teeth as they mimic the natural colour and appearance of your smile.

Can I replace old amalgam fillings with white fillings?

Absolutely. Many patients opt to replace amalgam fillings with white fillings to achieve a more natural look. Your dentist in Surbiton can help determine if this is the right option for you.

Does getting a filling hurt?

The procedure is usually very comfortable. We use local anaesthesia to numb the area, so you should feel little to no pain during the treatment.

Do they get stained over time?

White fillings are resistant to staining, but they can still be affected by certain foods, drinks, or habits. Regular care and professional cleanings can help keep them looking bright. We will give you some after-care tips to help maintain your filling.
