White
Fillings

White fillings are an extremely safe, durable option, lasting 10-15 years. Like other cosmetic dentistry options, it’s important to maintain good dental hygiene and continue with professional cleanings. A hygienist will be able to identify any potential problems with a white filling and advise you on replacement options when the time comes.

White fillings are used to seal off the tooth after drilling out decay caused by a cavity. However, your tooth can still get another cavity in another area or under a filling. Fillings may also become loose, leaving them more susceptible to food and bacteria entering under the filling.

At Royston Dental Care, we pride ourselves on offering bespoke dentistry and stunning results for all our patients. White fillings are our preferred solution for filling cavities and replacing old fillings. Most dentists have made the shift. However, we do still see patients with old silver fillings. Whether it’s time to replace your old fillings or you simply want a more aesthetic solution, we are happy to help.
