Invisible Fillings
A white filling that blends in completely. Natural-looking, long-lasting, and colour-matched to your tooth.
About The Treatment
What are Invisible Fillings?
When a tooth needs restoring, whether through decay, damage, or an old metal filling that needs replacing, a white filling is the most natural-looking option available. Tooth-coloured composite resin is bonded directly to the tooth structure, restoring its strength and appearance in a single appointment.
Unlike metal amalgam fillings, white fillings are virtually invisible. They bond to the tooth rather than sit in it, which means less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed.
Benefits of Invisible Fillings
What to Expect
The White Filling Process at Teeth & Face
01
Assessment
We assess the tooth and discuss the best approach. X-rays may be taken if needed.
02
Shade matching
The composite resin is colour-matched to your surrounding teeth before treatment begins.
03
Preparation
Decay or the old filling is removed to prepare the tooth. Local anaesthetic is used in most cases, though superficial fillings can sometimes be carried out without.
04
Filling placed and shaped
The composite resin is applied, shaped, and hardened in layers to restore the tooth's natural form.
05
Bite check
We check and adjust your bite to make sure everything feels comfortable and natural.
I had a great experience with Teeth & Face – I can’t recommend them enough! I had a check-up, hygienist appointment, filling, teeth whitening, and a chip in my front tooth repaired, all carried out with excellent care and to the highest standard.
