FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are white fillings as strong as silver amalgam fillings?

Modern composite fillings are very durable and suitable for all teeth, including molars. While amalgam may last slightly longer in large back teeth fillings, composites offer superior aesthetics and tooth preservation. With proper care, composite fillings can last 10-15 years or more.

Does getting a filling hurt?

No, the procedure is virtually painless. Topical numbing gel is used before the local anaesthetic injection. During the procedure, you'll feel pressure but no pain. Mild sensitivity for a few days after treatment is normal and temporary.

How much do white fillings cost?

Cost varies depending on size and location. Small fillings start from £120, while larger restorations may cost more.

Can I replace my old silver fillings with white ones?

Yes, amalgam fillings can be safely removed and replaced with composite alternatives using proper isolation and suction techniques to minimise mercury vapour exposure.

How long does the filling procedure take?

Most fillings are completed in 30-60 minutes. Multiple small fillings can often be done in one appointment.

Will my filling be noticeable?

No, composite fillings are virtually invisible. Shade is carefully matched to your natural tooth colour and polished to blend seamlessly.

What happens if I don't treat a cavity?

Untreated cavities continue to grow, eventually reaching the nerve, causing severe pain and infection. This can lead to root canal treatment or tooth extraction. Early filling treatment prevents these complications.

Can composite fillings stain or discolour?

Modern composites are highly stain-resistant. Surface stains from coffee, tea, and smoking can be polished away during regular professional cleaning.

Are white fillings suitable for children?

Yes, composite fillings are excellent for children. They're mercury-free, require less tooth removal, and look natural. Glass ionomer fillings that release fluoride are also available for baby teeth.
