White Fillings

White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a modern and effective dental restoration method used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, fractures, or wear. At A&L Clinics in Ipswich, we offer high-quality white fillings as an attractive and durable alternative to traditional amalgam fillings. Made from a tooth-coloured composite resin, white fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing solution to restore both the function and appearance of your smile.

One of the key advantages of white fillings is their ability to match the shade of your natural teeth. This makes them an ideal option for treating cavities or repairing damage in visible areas of your mouth, such as the front teeth. Unlike amalgam fillings, which can leave a noticeable silver or grey appearance, white fillings offer a more natural look, ensuring that your dental restorations enhance your smile rather than detract from it.

The process of placing a white filling is straightforward and minimally invasive. During your appointment, our experienced dentists will remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and then apply the composite resin material in layers. The resin is carefully shaped and hardened with a special curing light, allowing it to bond securely to the tooth’s surface. Once the filling is complete, it will be polished to ensure a smooth and natural finish that feels comfortable in your mouth.

In addition to their aesthetic benefits, white fillings are highly versatile and can be used to treat a wide range of dental issues, including cavities, chipped teeth, and minor gaps between teeth. The composite material is also less prone to expansion and contraction compared to metal fillings, reducing the risk of tooth fractures or sensitivity over time.

White fillings are not only an excellent choice for those seeking a natural-looking restoration but also for patients who prioritize preserving the maximum amount of their healthy tooth structure. The bonding process involved with composite fillings allows for a more conservative approach, meaning that less of the tooth needs to be removed compared to amalgam fillings.
