Repair Cavities Without The Dark, Metallic Look Of Silver Fillings

If you have a cavity or an old silver filling that stands out every time you talk or smile, you’re not alone.

Traditional silver fillings have been around for decades, but they can be noticeable, and over time, they may contribute to cracks or fractures as they don’t bond directly to the tooth.

White fillings, however, create a strong bond that helps preserve and protect your natural tooth structure.

At Market Street Dental Care…

We use tooth-coloured composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your teeth, restoring both strength and appearance without the dark, metallic look of silver fillings.

Why Choose White Fillings?

Unlike traditional silver fillings, white fillings:

  • Match your natural tooth colour for a discreet, seamless look

  • Bond directly to the tooth, helping to strengthen and preserve it

  • Contain no metal or mercury, making them a safer, modern alternative

  • Are durable and long-lasting, designed to handle everyday chewing and biting

How White Fillings Work

Step #1

Removing Decay Or Old Fillings

If you have a new cavity, we’ll carefully remove the decayed area of the tooth.

If you’re replacing an old silver filling, we’ll safely remove it before preparing the tooth for the new filling.

Step #2

Tooth Preparation & Bonding

Once the tooth is clean, we apply a special bonding agent that allows the white filling material to adhere securely to your tooth.

Unlike silver fillings, which sit inside the cavity, white fillings bond directly to the tooth, creating a strong, supportive seal.

Step #3

Shaping & Hardening The Filling

The tooth-coloured composite material is applied in layers and carefully sculpted to match the natural shape of your tooth.

We then use a special curing light to harden the material, ensuring it’s strong and durable.

Step #4

Polishing For A Natural Finish

Finally, the filling is polished to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

The result? A smooth, natural-looking finish that’s virtually undetectable when you talk, smile, or eat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does getting a white filling hurt?

Not at all! The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel a thing. Some mild sensitivity is normal after treatment, but it should fade within a few days.

How long do white fillings last?

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, white fillings can last 10+ years.

Will my white filling stain over time?

White fillings are stain-resistant, but just like natural teeth, they can discolour over time with frequent exposure to coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking. Regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments will help keep them looking fresh.
