White Fillings

Our dentists can safely replace silver amalgam fillings with white tooth coloured fillings which can quickly change the way that a dark filled tooth looks.

Dental decay happens when the enamel and dentine of a tooth become softened by acid attack, producing a cavity (hole).

Find out more about decay prevention in our Preventive Dentistry section.

White Fillings


If the decay is not too serious, our dentists can remove all the decay and restore the tooth with a white (tooth coloured) filling. Our dental team can replace amalgam or silver fillings with beautiful white fillings that match your teeth.

Silver Amalgam

It used to be that when a tooth needed to be filled that silver amalgam was the first choice. It can still be used but tooth coloured composite is now a better looking reliable alternative

Colour Matched

Today, white fillings can be matched to the tooth’s natural colour, creating aesthetically very pleasing results.

Strength

White fillings are often stronger and more durable than silver amalgam as they can be bonded to the tooth to re-enforce it. Whether you need a new filling or would like to replace an old silver filling with the new tooth-coloured variety the dentists at Rosehill can help.
