White Fillings in Ealing

White fillings (also called composite or tooth-coloured fillings) are made from a hard-wearing resin and glass material that is shade-matched to your natural tooth. Once placed, they're almost impossible to spot — even at the front of your smile.

Your dentist in Ealing layers the composite into the prepared cavity, hardens each layer with a curing light, then shapes and polishes the filling to a smooth, glossy finish that resists staining and early wear.

We only use premium, well-researched composite materials chosen for their strength, longevity and aesthetic finish. Compared with traditional silver amalgam, white fillings bond directly to the tooth — meaning we can remove less healthy enamel and reinforce the tooth at the same time.

You may need a filling if you notice:

• Sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet foods
• Pain when biting down
• A visible hole, dark spot or chip in a tooth
• Food getting trapped in a specific area
• An old, leaking or broken filling

Untreated decay can spread inwards and lead to root canal treatment or even tooth loss — so a quick check-up in Ealing is always worthwhile.
