Composite fillings are also known as ‘white fillings’, and they can be matched to the colour of your teeth. The advantage is that they look very natural, so if your filling is visible when you smile, then this is the answer.

Techniques are used to ensure that the filling stays in place and particularly requesting a white filling means that it is less likely to shrink over time. Fillings can also be used to fill cavities and small holes, ensuring the problem doesn’t get any worse.

Our dentists at The Dental Centre Ferndown can assess the situation and guide you to have the correct treatment for you. Additionally, composite materials are minimally invasive, allowing for conservative preparation of the tooth, which helps preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. This makes them an ideal choice for restoring damaged teeth while maintaining their strength and function.
