Why Patients Choose White Fillings
Tooth-coloured fillings have replaced the amalgam fillings of the past. In modern dentistry, this is a default restorative material that looks natural, preserves more of your teeth, without containing any metals.
Invisible Restoration
Composite resin is matched to the shade of your natural tooth, blending in with your smile.
Mercury-Free
White fillings do not contain any mercury or amalgam, making them a safe, metal-free alternative.
Minimally Invasive
As composite bonds directly to your tooth, less of your healthy tooth needs to be removed, making it a minimally invasive treatment.
Strong & Durable
White fillings are designed to manage biting force and can last up to ten years, or more, with the right after-care.

Are white fillings better than silver amalgam fillings?
White fillings have become the preferred choice, as they look natural, they are mercury-free, and they bond directly to the tooth, offering a strong and long-lasting result, preserving your natural tooth.
How long do white fillings last?
When your white filling is placed correctly by a professional dentist, you can expect it to last up to ten years. They can last significantly longer on smaller fillings, when combined with good oral hygiene. The lifespan of white fillings are all influenced by your bite force, diet, location in the mouth, and home care.
How much does a white filling cost in Whitton, Twickenham?
White fillings in Whitton, Twickenham are priced based on the size and number of surfaces involved. At EyeSmile, you can expect a written, personalised quote before treatment starts. You can also view our full fee schedule on our dental fees page.
Does having a white filling hurt?
No, we take great care to ensure that having a white filling is a painless process. Your dentist uses a local anaesthetic to numb the area, so you should only feel some pressure and a light vibration. You may experience some sensitivity to cold for a few days, but this settles quickly.
Can I replace my old silver fillings with white fillings?
Definitely, in fact we may recommend it. Many of our EyeSmile patients have chosen to replace their silver fillings with white fillings, making them look more natural. We also recommend it should your silver fillings be cracked, worn, or leaking. You will be advised on whether we think replacement is necessary during your assessment.
Can I eat immediately after a white filling?
Yes. White fillings are set the minute they are cured using a blue light, so you can eat the instant your anaesthetic wears off, unlike older materials. We do recommend you wait for the numbness tow ear off completely to avoid the risk of biting your tongue or cheek.
