We are excited to introduce our patients in Liverpool and beyond to wonderful white fillings. These natural looking fillings will strengthen and protect your teeth without affecting the look of your smile at all.
About white fillings
White fillings are designed to protect and strengthen teeth when there is a cavity in the tooth surface. Fillings seal the hole and help to reduce the risk of infection spreading to others parts of the tooth. White fillings are made from dental composite and resins. They are matched to the shade of your teeth to ensure that they cannot be distinguished from the natural tooth.
In the past, metal amalgams were used to fill teeth. However, nowadays white fillings are much more popular, as they are more aesthetically pleasing and safer. Many people have concerns about the potential toxicity of mercury and we are proud to promote amalgam-free dentistry.
We are able to fit new fillings and also replace old metal fillings with white fillings.
Does having a filling hurt?
The procedure to place a white filling is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you don’t need to worry about experiencing pain. After treatment, your tooth will feel numb for a short while, but you shouldn’t feel any discomfort.
Does a filling last forever?
Fillings should last for a couple of years, but they don’t last forever. Once your filling starts to wear, we will discuss replacing it with you and arrange an appointment at a time that is convenient to you.
