White fillings are a fantastic modern alternative to traditional silver or amalgam fillings.

Do you have old silver fillings that show when you smile or laugh? Or maybe you’re considering a new filling and want something that looks more natural and blends in with your teeth.

White fillings in Idle offer an easy way to fix your teeth.

What are white fillings?

These tooth-coloured fillings are made from materials designed to match the shade of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible.

Whether it’s filling a cavity or repairing damage, white fillings offer a subtle and aesthetically pleasing solution compared to the noticeable silver of amalgam fillings.

Why choose white fillings over silver fillings?

If you wish to learn more about white dental fillings vs. silver, let us help you understand:

Natural look

White fillings blend effortlessly with your teeth, making them a top choice for areas like the front teeth where appearance matters most. Nobody will be able to tell you’ve had dental work!

Strong and durable

Modern materials used in white fillings are built to last and withstand chewing forces, making them suitable even for larger cavities.

Tooth-friendly

Unlike traditional fillings, white fillings bond directly to your tooth, requiring less drilling. This helps preserve more of your natural tooth structure, keeping it stronger and healthier.

Mercury-free

White fillings don’t contain mercury, offering a safer and more environmentally friendly option than amalgam fillings.

Upgrade old fillings

If you’ve been living with silver fillings, swapping them out for white fillings can refresh your smile with a more natural, consistent appearance.

Types of white fillings

  • Composite resin: These are the most widely used white fillings. Made from a mix of resin and glass, they come in various shades to perfectly match your teeth. Composite fillings are versatile—they can fill cavities, repair chipped or broken teeth, and even reshape teeth for a polished look.
Taylored Dental Care
  • Glass ionomer cement (GIC): GIC fillings are made from a blend of acrylic and fine glass particles. While not as visually perfect as composite resins or porcelain, they’re often used in less visible areas, like near the gumline in children’s teeth. They are also a great choice for deep cavities because they bond directly to the tooth and release fluoride, which helps protect the tooth from further decay. Thus, these white fillings benefit the tooth and protect it from further decay.
  • Porcelain: Also known as inlays and onlays, these fillings are crafted from ceramic for both durability and a lifelike appearance. Porcelain fillings are custom-made in a dental lab to fit your tooth perfectly. They resist stains well and can last up to 20 years, making them an excellent long-term option.

Frequently asked questions

How long do white fillings last?

With proper care, white fillings typically last 7–10 years or longer. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene can help extend their lifespan.

Can white fillings be used for back teeth?

Absolutely! White fillings are strong enough for molars and other back teeth. Modern materials are designed to handle the pressure of chewing.

Can I replace my old silver fillings with white fillings?

Yes, you can! Many patients opt to switch to white fillings for a more aesthetic and mercury-free solution. We’ll safely remove your old fillings and restore your teeth with composite materials for a natural, refreshed look.
