At Quorn Dental Practice, we offer high-quality white fillings in Loughborough, helping you maintain a healthy, confident smile without the appearance of metal restorations.

 Modern white cosmetic fillings are strong, durable, and designed to match the natural shade of your teeth. Whether you’re replacing an old silver filling or need a new one due to tooth decay, our expert team ensures a flawless, comfortable result.

What Are White Cosmetic Fillings?

White cosmetic fillings are made from a tooth-coloured composite material that restores the function and appearance of a tooth. Unlike traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, they are designed to be discreet, durable, and metal-free, making them a popular choice for patients looking to enhance their smile.

White fillings offer…

• A natural appearance – Matched to the exact shade of your teeth for an invisible finish.
• Mercury-free treatment – A safer, biocompatible alternative to metal fillings.
• Strong and durable material – Designed to withstand daily wear and tear.
• Minimally invasive bonding – Less drilling compared to traditional metal fillings, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

 White cosmetic fillings are an ideal solution for anyone looking to restore their teeth without compromising on aesthetics.

Why Replace Metal Fillings?

Many people choose to replace old amalgam fillings with white fillings for cosmetic and health reasons. While metal fillings are functional, they can be highly visible, especially when you laugh or talk.
By switching to cosmetic fillings, you can:

• Improve the appearance of your smile – No more dark metal spots in your teeth.
• Avoid temperature sensitivity – Metal fillings can expand and contract with temperature changes, leading to tooth sensitivity over time.
• Benefit from a more secure bond – White fillings bond directly to your tooth, helping to strengthen it.
• Enjoy a safer alternative – Free from mercury, cosmetic fillings provide a modern, metal-free solution.

 Replacing old fillings with white fillings in Loughborough can instantly refresh your smile and boost your confidence.
