If you have a chipped, damaged or decayed tooth, a white cosmetic filling can restore its strength and appearance while blending naturally with your smile.

At Norwich Dental Care, we provide natural-looking white fillings in Norwich using tooth-coloured composite material. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings can be carefully matched to your natural tooth colour for a discreet finish.

What Are White Composite Fillings?

White fillings are made from tooth-coloured composite material and are used to repair teeth affected by decay, damage or trauma.

The composite bonds directly to the tooth and is carefully shaped to restore its natural appearance and function. For many patients, the main advantage is simple: the filling is far less noticeable when you smile.

What Happens When You Have a Filling?

Having a tooth filled is a common and straightforward dental procedure. Your dentist will remove any decay or damaged tooth structure before placing, shaping and bonding the composite material to your tooth.

Local anaesthetic can be used where needed to keep you comfortable throughout treatment. Once complete, your dentist will check your bite to make sure the restored tooth feels comfortable and natural.

How Do I Know If I Need a Filling?

Tooth decay doesn’t always cause symptoms straight away. You may eventually notice sensitivity, toothache, discomfort when biting, a chipped or rough area, or a visible hole in your tooth.

If you’ve noticed a change in one of your teeth, it’s best to have it examined. Our dentists can identify the problem and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Can Metal Fillings Be Replaced with White Fillings?

If you have an existing metal filling and would prefer a more natural-looking alternative, we can assess the tooth and discuss whether replacing it with a white composite filling is suitable.

Not every metal filling needs replacing, so your dentist will explain your options based on the health and condition of the tooth.
