How White Fillings Work
Your white filling treatment is carefully planned around the health and condition of your tooth. From your initial assessment to the final polish, every stage is designed to restore strength, function and a natural appearance using tooth-coloured composite materials.
1
Examination and Assessment
We’ll begin by examining your tooth, discussing any symptoms or concerns, and taking X-rays if needed. Your dentist will assess the extent of the damage or decay and recommend whether a white filling is the most appropriate treatment.
2
Remove Decay and Place the Filling
Any decay or damaged tooth structure is carefully removed before the tooth is cleaned and prepared. We then apply a tooth-coloured composite material in layers, carefully shaping and colour matching it to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.
3
Shape, Polish and Protect Your Teeth
Once the filling has been placed, it’s hardened, refined and polished to create a smooth, comfortable finish. We check your bite, ensure the filling feels natural and provide advice on caring for your restored tooth to help it last for years to come.
