White Fillings
in Canary Wharf

White fillings offer a natural-looking alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings. They are made from tooth-coloured composite resin that blends beautifully with your natural teeth — meaning nobody can tell you've had a filling at all. They can be used to repair new decay or to replace existing silver fillings you'd like removed, restoring your smile without any visible metalwork.

With proper care as part of a good oral hygiene routine, white fillings typically last around 7–10 years. We'll provide you with full aftercare advice when your filling is placed to help you get the most from it. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor the condition of existing fillings and replace them when needed.

Modern composite resin materials are highly durable and suitable for both front and back teeth. While silver amalgam has historically been considered slightly harder-wearing in very high-load areas, advances in composite materials have significantly closed this gap. For most patients, white fillings are an entirely comparable choice for any tooth in the mouth — and offer clear aesthetic advantages.

Yes — we routinely replace old silver amalgam fillings with tooth-coloured composites. We'll assess the condition of your existing fillings and the surrounding tooth structure before proceeding, to ensure replacement is the right option for you. In most cases it's a straightforward procedure carried out under local anaesthetic.
