White fillings have a number of advantages over amalgam fillings; as they don’t contain mercury, they’re a more restorative alternative. They are also much more resilient to cracking as a result of temperature changes in your mouth, making them a durable solution.

White fillings are durable and long-lasting, typically lasting between 5 to 15 years, depending on factors like your oral health, eating habits, and daily dental care routine. Regular routine check-ups at our dental practice will help ensure your fillings remain in good condition. To extend their lifespan, we recommend preventative dental care, such as avoiding hard foods, practicing good oral hygiene, and attending regular hygiene visits.
Yes, but it’s best to wait at least 1-2 hours before eating to allow the filling to fully set. If you’ve had a numbing injection, we recommend waiting until the numbness wears off to avoid accidentally biting your tongue or cheek. After a white filling, it’s also best to start with softer foods and avoid extremely hot or cold items to prevent sensitivity. Our dental services include aftercare advice to ensure you feel comfortable post-treatment.
White fillings are made from a tooth-coloured composite resin, which is a mixture of plastic and glass particles. This material is safe, mercury-free, and designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a strong and aesthetic alternative to silver amalgam fillings. At our dental practice, we use high-quality materials to ensure your fillings are durable and resilient, helping to protect your teeth and maintain your oral health.
Absolutely! At The White House Dental Practice, we provide a calm and reassuring environment for nervous patients. White fillings are a minimally invasive procedure, meaning less discomfort than treatments like root canal therapy or dental implants. We also offer gentle dental services and can discuss ways to help you feel more comfortable during your visit.
Yes! White fillings not only restore teeth that have mild to moderate decay but also help prevent further damage and deterioration. By addressing small cavities early, we can avoid more complex treatments like root canals or extractions. Regular routine checks allow us to monitor your teeth and offer preventative dental solutions before bigger issues arise.
