White fillings in Pinner, also known as composite fillings, restore teeth damaged by decay, chips, or small gaps using a tooth-coloured mix of plastic and ceramic that blends perfectly with your natural teeth. This restorative dentistry treatment preserves more of your original tooth structure than silver amalgam fillings, making it a popular choice for local families at Pinner Green Dental. We deliver these seamless, mercury-free repairs right here in Middlesex to keep your smile looking great and healthy.
Your dentist starts by numbing the affected tooth and surrounding area with local anaesthetic for complete comfort during the procedure. They remove any decay carefully, then build up the white filling in thin layers, hardening each one with a special light for maximum strength and support. This minimally invasive method means less drilling, so more natural enamel stays intact compared to traditional silver fillings.
White composite fillings offer clear benefits for patients in Pinner seeking durable, aesthetic dental restorations:
Natural appearance – Tooth-coloured material looks invisible, blending seamlessly with your smile (only a dentist spots it).
Tooth preservation – Requires less preparation, saving more of your healthy tooth structure.
Mercury-free – Safe, non-toxic composite avoids the metals in silver fillings.
Added strength – Layered design supports the tooth better against cracks or wear.
Temperature neutral – Doesn’t conduct hot or cold like metal, reducing sensitivity.
Quick hardening – Sets fast under UV light, often ready same-day.
Plenty of Pinner locals upgrade from old silver amalgam fillings to white composites for a confidence-boosting, modern smile. We check your existing fillings first with a thorough exam to ensure safe removal without damage. Combine this with regular dental hygiene cleanings to prevent new decay and maintain results long-term.
White fillings pair well with teeth whitening for a brighter finish, or root canal treatment and crowns for more extensive repairs. For missing teeth solutions, consider dental implants, dentures, or bridges. Our dental plan makes check-ups and preventive care affordable.
