What Are White Fillings?
White fillings are natural-looking, tooth-coloured materials used to restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage. Available in a range of shades to closely match your natural tooth colour, they offer a discreet solution that’s virtually unnoticeable. Suitable for both small cavities and more extensive repairs, such as chipped or worn teeth, white fillings are a versatile choice. With the phase-out of dental amalgam in the UK from 2025, they provide an ideal modern alternative that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Who Can Get White Fillings?
White fillings are an excellent option for those with:
- Small to moderate cavities: Effectively restore decayed teeth while maintaining a natural appearance.
- Chipped or worn teeth needing cosmetic repair: Repair minor damage with a smooth, tooth-coloured finish.
- Old metal fillings that need to be replaced for a more natural look: Swap out silver fillings for a more discreet, modern alternative.
- Sensitivity to metal-based restorations: A metal-free option that’s kinder to sensitive teeth.
- A desire for a more aesthetic, tooth-coloured solution: Achieve a seamless, natural look that blends with your smile.

The Treatment Journey
Every patient journey is unique, but this is what you can expect when you start white fillings treatment at Light Lane Dental Practice.
Consultation
We begin by examining your teeth and discussing your concerns, then recommend the most appropriate type of white filling for your needs and provide guidance on how to care for it afterwards.
Procedure
To ensure a comfortable experience, the tooth is numbed before treatment begins. We gently remove any decay or damage, then thoroughly clean and prepare the tooth for the white filling.
Aftercare
We’ll provide advice on how to care for your white fillings to help maintain their longevity and support your overall dental health, along with scheduling follow-up appointments as needed.
Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs)
Have a question about your dental treatment? We’ve answered the most common questions below.
Is the filling procedure painful?
Not at all. We use local anaesthetic to numb the area, so you shouldn’t feel any discomfort during the procedure. Some people experience mild sensitivity afterwards, but this usually fades quickly.
Do I need to replace my old fillings?
Fillings don’t last forever and may need replacing if they become worn, cracked, or if decay develops underneath. Regular check-ups help us monitor their condition.
Are white fillings better than silver fillings?
White fillings are more discreet and mercury-free, making them ideal for visible teeth. Silver fillings are more durable and often used for back teeth where appearance is less of a concern. Your dentist will advise on the best option for you.
How long do white fillings last?
With good oral hygiene and routine dental check-ups, white fillings can last 7–10 years or even longer. Their durability depends on the filling’s location and your daily oral care habits.
