Discreet Tooth Repair
A chipped tooth, a minor crack, or a cavity – these imperfections can affect your confidence and oral health. At Sidcup Dental Spa, we offer private dentist filling solutions for a natural-looking and effective solution to damaged teeth.
Strong & Beautiful Smiles
- Natural Appearance: White fillings blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth, creating a discreet and aesthetically pleasing restoration.
- Preserved Tooth Structure: White fillings require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure compared to traditional fillings, which helps maintain the strength of your tooth.
- Durable and Long-lasting: Modern white filling materials are incredibly strong and can last for many years with proper care.
When Do You Need White Fillings?
- Chipped or cracked teeth: Minor chips and cracks can be easily repaired with white fillings, restoring the tooth’s functionality and appearance.
- Worn teeth: Over time, teeth can wear down due to grinding or other factors. White fillings can be used to rebuild the tooth structure and improve its function.
- Replacing amalgam fillings: White fillings offer a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to older, silver amalgam fillings.
White Fillings
- Consultation and Examination: Dr. Almasi will thoroughly examine your teeth and discuss your options to determine if a white filling is the right solution for you.
- Painless Treatment: We use local anaesthetic to ensure you don’t feel any pain during the procedure.
- Removing Decay: The decayed portion of your tooth will be carefully removed.
- Filling the Cavity: Dr. Almasi will meticulously shape and place the white filling material to match the colour and contour of your natural tooth.
- Polishing the Filling: The final step involves polishing the filling for a smooth and natural-looking finish.
Glass Ionomer Fillings
In some cases, Dr. Almasi may recommend glass ionomer fillings. These fillings offer additional benefits such as fluoride release, which can help strengthen the tooth and prevent future decay. However, they may not be as aesthetically pleasing as white fillings.
Keeping Your Smile Beautiful
Following your white filling treatment, proper oral hygiene is essential for maintaining a healthy smile. This includes brushing twice daily, flossing once a day, and maintaining a balanced diet. Regular dental checkups and cleanings are also crucial.

FAQs
What are the benefits of white fillings?
White fillings blend naturally with teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for cavities and minor damage. They also bond securely to the tooth structure, reducing the risk of further decay.
How long do white fillings last?
With proper care, they can last several years. Regular dental check-ups help monitor their condition and ensure longevity, while good oral hygiene can prevent decay around the filling.
Are white fillings better than silver fillings?
White fillings offer a more natural appearance and bond directly to the tooth structure, helping to strengthen and support the remaining tooth material. They also contain no mercury, making them a preferred choice for many patients.
Can old metal fillings be replaced with white fillings?
Yes, many patients choose to replace silver fillings with white ones for a more natural look and improved aesthetics. This can enhance confidence in your smile while maintaining tooth integrity.
Are white fillings suitable for all cavities?
