At Pine Dental & Aesthetics, white resin composite fillings are used to repair teeth that are chipped, worn or have suffered damage through dental decay through advanced and precise techniques.

We do not offer silver-amalgam fillings to minimise the health risks to patients and avoid its environmental impact.

We can use white resin composite fillings at both the front and back of the mouth to restore function and strength of damaged teeth or improve aesthetics. The shade of the filling is matched to the natural tooth colour, meaning repairs are near invisible on any tooth surface.

Minimally-invasive resin composite restorations involve saving as much of your natural tooth as possible and can even be used to treat receding gums.

During your treatment visit, your experienced dentist will begin by removing and cleaning damaged parts of the tooth. A protective rubber sheet known as a dental “dam” is then used to isolate the tooth, preventing contamination of the filling during treatment and controlling moisture – this helps the filling bond strongly to the tooth.

Your dentist carefully layers resin composite to expertly sculpt the tooth and recreate its natural design. The filling is then smoothed and polished, ensuring your bite is conserved.

This procedure is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, allowing you to go about your day as normal once you walk out our door and the numbing agent wears off.

With a normal regime of regular check-ups and careful hygiene, you can expect your white filling to last as long as a natural tooth.
