White Fillings

Restore Your Smile with Natural-Looking Fillings

Worried about seeing unsightly black or metal fillings every time you smile? This is quite a common insecurity patients have, but this isn’t your only option when it comes to treating cavities.

Here at Sarum Dental, Salisbury, we offer the latest generation of tooth-coloured white fillings that blend in with your natural smile. We can also remove amalgam fillings in favour of this strong, durable composite material!

So, whether your Salisbury dentist has discovered a cavity or you’ve decided to replace your old metal fillings, the team at Sarum Dental can help.

The Benefits of White Fillings

  • White fillings are better for your teeth. Traditional, silver fillings often require the removal of the tooth structure to remain in place. But our white fillings bond directly to the tooth. They’re also mercury-free, which makes them a safer and more eco-friendly alternative for restoring your smile.
  • Another great thing about white fillings is their versatility. Whether it’s a small cavity or a larger area of tooth decay requiring treatment, white fillings are up to the task. And just like with composite bonding treatment, white filling material can also be used to repair chipped or broken teeth!
  • White fillings are built to last. With proper care and maintenance, they can keep your smile healthy for years to come. Just make sure to brush twice a day, floss regularly, and visit your Sarum dentist in Salisbury for regular check-ups!

Removing Metal Fillings in Salisbury

As the process of removing amalgam fillings can release the mercury contained in the metal, it is important that the procedure be undertaken with the utmost care. You can rest assured that our experienced team will only carry out treatment if it is safe to do so. Sometimes it is clinically preferable to only replace amalgam fillings if and when they fail.

Composite, or white filling material, can also be used as an inlay or onlay to restore teeth that have minor damage, such as cracks or stains. The process is similar to re-plastering a wall to cover superficial defects, and the composite will be colour-matched to blend in perfectly with your natural teeth.

If you want a brighter, healthier smile, give white fillings a try – your teeth will thank you for it!

FAQs

How do cavities occur?

Cavities form from tooth decay, which is a natural result of eating and drinking anything that contains sugars or reacts with plaque on your teeth to form acids. Having sugary snacks or drinks between meals is particularly harmful as the acids have no time to neutralise.

How can I prevent tooth decay?

Of course, brushing your teeth regularly and, if possible, after eating, will help you avoid tooth decay. If this is not possible, chewing sugar-free gum will help stimulate saliva, which neutralises the acid in your mouth and prevents damage. Minimising the number of times you eat between meals will also help. Routine checkups and having X-rays will also allow us to see whether there are any early signs of decay present in your teeth.

How do I know if I need a filling?

Unfortunately, in the early stages, tooth decay has few symptoms. The first sign is often some sensitivity when eating hot or cold foods. As the decay gets closer to the pulp of the tooth, you may begin to suffer from a toothache.

“I had a great check up with Neal today, it had been a long time and he knows I am a nervous patient. I felt at ease straight away and he has given me a plan on my dental care going forward, easy to follow without being told off. I look forward to regular check ups going forward and the other staff were very helpful and happy. Thank you so much!”

“Our whole family switched to Sarum Dental Practice after the pandemic and have been very pleased with the professionalism and friendliness of everyone at the practice. I had a first ever extraction today and it was quick, pain-free and a total non-event due to how calmly and expertly Neal carried out the procedure.”

“Raj has been excellent in identifying problem teeth and working out treatment plans, and I'm more than happy with the fillings/crown that have been fitted. As a private patient I've been able to book appointments at very short notice which is a breath of fresh air after years of NHS dental care. Definitely worthy of five stars!”

“I changed NHS dentists and this one is, after one visit, MUCH better than the last. A really good service... I wrote that about 6 years ago...still a patient here and it retains my, now unswerving, loyalty. The best review I can give it is that when having treatment I have twice gone to sleep, it's fantastic here.”
