Benefits of
White Fillings

Dealing with tooth decay or a chipped tooth is incredibly common, but repairing it should never compromise the look of your smile. At London Smile Studio, our modern white fillings offer a durable, metal-free alternative to traditional silver amalgam. Made from a high-quality composite resin, they are precisely shaded to match your surrounding teeth, restoring your tooth’s natural strength, shape, and function completely discreetly.

If you would like to repair a tooth or replace old metal fillings with a natural-looking finish in Swiss Cottage, please contact us today.

Formulated from custom-shaded composite resin that blends seamlessly with your natural tooth enamel.

Mercury-Free & Safe

A completely metal-free composition, offering a modern and health-conscious alternative to silver amalgam.

High Durability

Bonds directly to the structure of your tooth to provide a strong, resilient, and long-lasting restoration.

Minimally Invasive

Requires less of your natural tooth structure to be removed compared to old-style silver fillings.

DISCREET & DURABLE

why choose white fillings?

Unlike traditional silver fillings, which can darken over time and stand out when you talk or laugh, white fillings are designed to be completely invisible. Because the composite material bonds directly to your enamel, it supports the remaining structure of your tooth—helping to prevent future cracks or breaks. It is the modern, metal-free way to restore both the strength and the natural beauty of your smile in a single visit.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Diagnosis

Diagnosis

We examine your tooth, take digital X-rays if needed, and discuss whether a white composite filling is the best, most discreet option for your smile.

Local Anaesthesia

Local Anaesthesia

To ensure your complete comfort, we apply a numbing gel before gently administering a local anaesthetic, making sure you feel absolutely nothing.

Decay Removal

Decay Removal

We carefully remove any decayed or damaged areas of the tooth, cleaning and sterilising the space so it is perfectly prepared for the bonding material.

Composite Application

We select a composite resin that matches your natural tooth shade, then carefully build it up in layers to recreate the tooth's original, healthy shape.

Curing and Polishing

A special blue light is used to cure and harden the composite resin instantly. We then smooth, shape, and polish the filling so it feels completely natural to your bite.

White Fillings frequently asked questions

Modern composite materials are incredibly strong. While traditional metal amalgam is famously tough, high-quality composite resin is chemically bonded directly to the tooth, reinforcing its structure rather than just wedging into it. With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, white fillings typically last between 7 to 10 years (and often longer), making them a highly durable and far more discreet choice.

A standard white filling is a very straightforward, single-visit treatment. Depending on the size and location of the cavity, it usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. Because we cure and harden the composite resin instantly using a special light, you can leave the clinic with a fully functional tooth ready for normal use.

Not at all. Your comfort is our top priority. We use a topical numbing gel on the area before gently administering a local anaesthetic, ensuring you feel completely relaxed and pain-free throughout. It is quite common to experience some mild, temporary sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures for a few days after the treatment, but this quickly settles.

Yes, absolutely. White fillings are made from a biocompatible composite resin consisting of fine glass and plastic particles. They are 100% metal-free and mercury-free, making them an excellent, health-conscious, and safe choice for restoring teeth in both adults and children.
