What Are White Fillings?
White fillings, also known as composite resin fillings, are a popular choice amongst our patients in Stoke-on-Trent. They are metal-free and have properties that mimic natural tooth structure, allowing us to recreate the shade, texture and translucency of your natural teeth.
Composite fillings are chemically bonded onto the tooth surface, so the filling actually provides more support for the tooth. That extra support means the tooth is less likely to fracture – a problem that is very common with amalgam (silver) fillings. We provide white fillings for patients across Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Cheshire and Kidsgrove.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are white fillings?
White fillings, also known as composite resin fillings, are tooth-coloured fillings that mimic natural tooth structure. They are metal-free and recreate the shade, texture and translucency of your natural teeth.
Are white fillings strong?
Yes. Composite fillings are chemically bonded onto the tooth surface, so they actually provide more support for the tooth. This makes the tooth less likely to fracture, which is very common with amalgam (silver) fillings.
Can you replace my old silver fillings?
Yes. We commonly replace metal amalgam fillings with white, natural-looking fillings. They look better cosmetically and avoid staining the tooth grey or black.
Do white fillings contain mercury?
No. White composite fillings do not contain mercury, which is found in amalgam (silver) fillings.
Can I have a white filling while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes. White fillings can be safely placed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We do not recommend placing amalgam fillings during pregnancy or while you are breastfeeding.
Will my white filling match my teeth?
Yes. Composite resin is shade-matched to your tooth and recreates its natural texture and translucency, so your filling blends in with your smile.
Do white fillings feel hot or cold?
No. Unlike metal fillings, white fillings do not conduct hot and cold.
How much does a white filling cost?
White fillings at Kidsgrove Dental start from £120. Dental Plan members receive a 10% discount.
Is having a filling painful?
Your tooth is numbed before treatment so you stay comfortable. If you feel anxious about dental treatment, we also offer sedation options for nervous patients.
Can white filling material change the shape of my teeth?
Yes. We also use composite resin for cosmetic bonding, bonding fine layers of composite to change the shape of your teeth. Bonding can be an alternative to veneers or braces.
