The future of fillings
White composite fillings have completely changed how a restored mouth can look. While old metal amalgam fillings were obvious, white filling can be blended and shaped to your natural tooth, so that they can look as good (or maybe even better) than your original tooth.

If you need to get some fillings done, then why not them with No 9 Dental Practice in Uphall? We are a friendly dental practice with a great reputation, welcoming patients from across the surrounding areas and beyond.
About white fillings
How white fillings could improve your smile
Most dark amalgam fillings can be replaced with white filling material to rejuvenate your smile. If you have a particularly large filling this may not be able to be replaced in this way, but you will be able to get a natural colour back with a ceramic crown in this case.
​
How we create white fillings
After your tooth is cleaned and prepared small amounts of white filling material are added and shaped. The material is set with UV light, so you do not need to avoid eating afterwards. There are many different shades of the materials, as well as accents to ensure we can get a good colour match with your teeth. Your bite will also be checked to make sure that your teeth meet together comfortably afterwards.
Good to know
How much do white fillings cost?
Our fillings start from £90, and the price will vary depending on how large they are. We also have a membership at the practice, which reduces any routine costs by 20%.
​
How long do fillings last?
This very much depends on their environment. Our practitioners will always try to make sure you are not biting too heavily on your filling, but sometimes this cannot be avoided. We always guarantee our fillings for a year, but we have some which are now 20 years old and going strong.
When should you replace old fillings?
Over time, even well-placed fillings can wear down or lose their seal. If you have older restorations, you may notice sensitivity, rough edges, or dark lines forming around the tooth. In some cases, there are no obvious symptoms, but small gaps can still allow bacteria to enter and cause further damage.
Replacing worn restorations with white fillings helps restore both strength and appearance. These modern materials bond directly to the tooth, creating a secure, natural-looking finish while preserving more of your healthy structure. If you’ve been putting off treatment or feel unsure about the condition of your fillings, a check-up at No 9 Dental Practice can provide clear, supportive guidance on your next steps. If the damage is more advanced, we can also discuss longer-term solutions, including options such as dental implants, to fully restore function and confidence.
