What are white fillings in Norwich?

A modern alternative to silver amalgam

Nowadays fillings are not only functional, but can be natural looking as well. Many people don’t want silver fillings that show when they laugh or smile because they are more conscious about the way they look. As time passes, amalgam fillings can make the surrounding tooth appear grey and unsightly.

‍

Old, ugly, or worn out fillings are replaced by modern, tooth coloured filling materials, which give a high aesthetic result. The restorations are bonded to the tooth, feel very natural and colour-matched to the surrounding tooth, making them appear almost invisible.

This was my first treatment with Dr Kalpana. I told her I was nervous and she was brillant. Checked on me throughout treatment and told me to raise my hand if I needed her to stop. I can honestly say I didn’t feel anything once numb. She did such a good job on my front tooth that now looks better than it has in years!

I am very satisfied with my doctor. Although I usually find it difficult to feel comfortable with doctors I don’t know, he managed the situation very well — professional, polite, and with a good sense of humor. The whole team is polite and welcoming. However, I would suggest reviewing the current policy regarding appointment cancellations or rescheduling, as unexpected situations can happen to anyone.

White fillings FAQs in Norwich

Your questions
answered clearly

Are white fillings as good as silver fillings?

White fillings have always been considered less long lasting than silver fillings. But there are now new materials available with properties comparable to silver amalgam, and these are proving to be very successful. The life expectancy of a white filling can depend greatly on where it is in your mouth and how heavily your teeth come together when you bite.

Is it worth replacing my amalgam fillings with white ones?

It is usually best to change fillings only when your dentist decides that an old filling needs replacing. If so you can ask to have it replaced with a tooth-coloured material.

What are tooth-coloured fillings made of?

This can vary, but they are mainly made of glass particles, synthetic resin and a setting ingredient.

Will my white filling match my natural teeth?

Yes. White fillings are colour-matched to your surrounding tooth structure, helping them blend in naturally when you smile.
