Tooth-coloured or white fillings are made up of dental composite and are used for repairing broken and chipped teeth. If you are not happy with your chipped or broken teeth and want a quick affordable solution, then white fillings in London are for you. The shade of the composite resin can be matched with individual natural tooth colour to camouflage the look providing a healthy and natural substitute to conventional silver amalgam fillings. This treatment is referred to as minimal invasive restoration that will save and protect your natural teeth.
These fillings are ideal for use on front or back teeth. Not only does it offer a natural and subtle look, but it also restores the strength and functions of damaged teeth. It can be used for cosmetic purposes as well, such as closing gaps between teeth, filling cavities and reshaping uneven teeth for a flawless appearance.
White fillings are very strong and durable. So, with proper maintenance and care it will last for around 8 years or more. However, you can prolong its lifespan by regular flossing, brushing twice a day and going for regular dental checkups and dental hygiene cleans. Avoid exerting excessive pressure on the teeth especially biting on hard objects or grinding the teeth.

Being in dentistry, we would like to recommend that prevention is always better than cure and we want you to take good care of your oral health and hygiene to keep the likelihood of any issue at bay.
If you have minor tooth decay or need a replacement for your metal filling then you are an ideal candidate for white fillings in London.
Fillings are sometimes necessary when you must fill up the cavities left by decay. Filling cavities is important in order to protect the teeth from further injury. Plus, it lowers the risk of bacterial infection spreading to other parts of the mouth. Weak enamel is prone to tooth decay and fillings will keep the tooth intact and sealed.
Initially, after white filling treatment in London, your teeth remain sensitive to cold and hot for a short period. Mild pain can be there, but it will naturally subside down within a couple of days
Dentists at our partner dental clinics in London use local anaesthesia to numb the area so that you won’t feel any pain. Afterwards, minimal discomfort and pain is likely to occur on a temporary basis and can be easily addressed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
For the first two hours after treatment, avoid stained items such as red wine, cigarettes, beetroot, coffee, and tea. After this period, you can resume normal eating, but it's best to avoid stain-inducing items to maintain the treatment's effects.
