White Fillings at Dover Priory Dental

A Seamless Smile Solution

A Seamless Smile Solution

A Natural-Looking Way to Protect Your Smile

If you’ve got a cavity or a chipped tooth, don’t worry. At Dover Priory Dental, we can repair your tooth with a white filling that blends in perfectly with your natural smile. No metal, no silver, no obvious dental work. Just a strong, smooth finish that looks and feels like your own tooth.

What Are White Fillings?

White fillings (also called composite fillings) are made from a tooth-coloured resin that bonds directly to your tooth. They’re an ideal solution for:

  • Treating tooth decay
  • Fixing chips and cracks
  • Replacing old metal fillings
  • Improving the shape and appearance of teeth

They’re strong, safe, and practically invisible.

Why Our Patients Prefer White Fillings

Most people choose white fillings because they’re:

  • Discreet: They match your tooth colour
  • Safe: No mercury or metal
  • Kind to your teeth: Less drilling, more of your natural tooth stays intact
  • Durable: Made to last for years with proper care

At Dover Priory Dental, we use high-quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure your white filling looks natural and feels comfortable.

Thinking of Replacing Your Old Fillings?

If you have silver or amalgam fillings that you don’t love the look of, we can safely replace them with natural-looking white fillings. Many patients say it gives them extra confidence when they smile.

White Fillings FAQs

What are white fillings made of?

White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a high-quality resin material that bonds directly to your tooth. The material is designed to closely match the shade of your natural teeth, offering both strength and aesthetic appeal.

Are white fillings as durable as silver (amalgam) fillings?

Yes. When placed correctly by an experienced clinician and maintained with proper oral hygiene, white fillings are highly durable. They are suitable for both front and back teeth and are designed to withstand normal chewing forces.

Can I replace my old silver fillings with white fillings?

Absolutely. Many patients choose to replace old amalgam fillings for cosmetic reasons or to eliminate metal from their mouths. At Dover Priory Dental, we offer safe and precise amalgam removal and replacement with modern, tooth-coloured materials.

How much do white fillings cost?

The cost of white fillings varies depending on the size and location of the filling. At Dover Priory Dental, we offer transparent pricing and will provide a full quotation before treatment. Flexible payment options are also available.
