White Fillings

White Fillings for a Natural-Looking Smile

At Smil, we provide expertly placed white fillings that restore your smile with a natural look and feel. Designed to be a discreet and durable alternative to silver amalgam, white fillings help you maintain both the health and appearance of your teeth with confidence.

Whether you’re treating a new cavity or replacing old metal fillings, a composite teeth filling is a quick and effective solution – often completed during a routine check-up.

What are white fillings?

White fillings, commonly referred to as composite fillings, are often used to repair dental cavities caused by tooth decay.

This material is made from composite resins that match your natural teeth in shade and opacity. Early dental composite teeth fillings were confined to the front teeth because they were not resilient enough to resist the pressure generated by the back teeth. However, in recent years, white fillings have largely improved and can now be placed in the back teeth as well.

What are the main advantages of white fillings?

White fillings at our Kent practice offer several benefits:

• Minimally invasive – The composite resin bonds directly to your tooth, meaning less natural structure needs to be removed compared to silver fillings.
• Aesthetic appeal – White fillings match the exact shade of your teeth, so they’re practically undetectable when you talk, smile or laugh.
• Durable and long-lasting – With proper care, composite teeth fillings can last 10 to 15 years.
• Quick setting time – The resin is hardened using a special blue light, allowing you to eat and drink shortly after the procedure, with no lengthy downtime required.
• Protective and functional – These fillings restore the tooth’s shape and strength, preventing further decay and preserving your oral health.
