White fillings, also referred to as tooth-coloured fillings, composite fillings, or cosmetic fillings, are a modern alternative to traditional silver fillings. These dental fillings are made from a blend of composite resin and glass particles, which are colour-matched to your natural teeth for a seamless result.
This type of treatment is ideal for restoring decayed teeth, repairing chips and cracks, or even reshaping uneven edges, even on front teeth. At Dental Studio Scotland, we use advanced composite materials to deliver strong, long-lasting results that preserve your tooth structure and improve aesthetics.
Book An AppointmentOnce your tooth has been cleaned and prepared, the composite filling is placed in layers. Each layer is hardened with a special light to ensure durability. This process continues until the cavity or gap is fully restored.
Your dentist will then shape the white tooth filling to fit your bite and polish it to prevent future staining or wear. The result is a smooth, functional surface that blends naturally with the rest of your smile.
White tooth fillings are ideal to fill the cavities in both visible and hidden areas of the mouth, especially when aesthetics matter.
More patients than ever are choosing white tooth fillings not just for function, but for aesthetics too. If you’re concerned about visible silver fillings, or if you need to fill the cavities in a natural-looking way, tooth-coloured composite fillings offer an ideal solution.
Whether you need a small repair or are replacing an old type of filling, our expert dentists will guide you through your options and create a restoration that blends perfectly with your natural teeth.
Composite fillings are tooth coloured, blend with your smile, and bond to your natural tooth structure. Silver fillings are more noticeable and don’t bond in the same way.
Yes. Many patients choose to replace old or visible silver fillings with composite resin for a more natural look.
Absolutely. While often used on front teeth for aesthetics, composite materials are durable enough for use on molars and chewing surfaces.
Costs can vary depending on the size of the filling and the tooth involved. We’ll provide a full estimate before you commit to treatment.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, white fillings can last many years. Their lifespan depends on the size and location of the filling, as well as your overall dental care.
