Most people are familiar with silver (amalgam) fillings, but did you know you can also opt for composite resin fillings? In Reading, our team is versed in the latest cosmetic methods, and our white (tooth-coloured) fillings create a seamless addition to your smile, protecting problem teeth without the need for that visible silver appearance every time you open your mouth.
Want to know more? Ask us about white fillings today.
Composite (white) fillings are more than a cosmetic treatment. Sure, they help create a flawless smile, blending in effortlessly with existing teeth, but modern applications are also designed to protect a tooth over time. So not only do you get something that looks great, but it’s also an incredibly functional restoration.
Here at Reading Dental Spa, Shaun and Shervin use only high-quality materials designed to be durable and comfortable. Additionally, our dentists are well-versed in the art of precision colour-matching. This means that they can match your white filling to the exact shade of your natural teeth, making it virtually undetectable.
Tooth-coloured fillings have become the restoration of choice for many people because they have several benefits. Here are some of them:
At Reading Dental Spa, we aim to provide you with the highest quality treatments as efficiently and as comfortably as possible. So, during a short visit, our team will administer a light anaesthetic and then clean out the tooth cavity, ensuring no traces of bacteria remain.
The resin material is then colour-matched to your teeth. Then, it’s carefully applied to the area. Next, a special light is used to harden the area. Once the resin has been set, it’s checked for comfort and bite.
The whole procedure takes around 20-30 minutes, and normally, no recovery time is needed. Instead, it’s a speedy, minimally invasive treatment designed to combine both aesthetics and high functionality.

As they are part of your natural teeth anyway, they should be treated in the same way by brushing, flossing and rinsing daily to eradicate any food debris and plaque. Also, just like natural teeth, don’t use them for anything other than biting or chewing food. Doing so will severely weaken the filling.
Surprisingly, composite resin fillings have been around since the 1960s. However, modern applications are more durable than their predecessors.
That’s entirely up to you. Other than a lack of aesthetics, silver fillings do the job of protecting teeth well, so they don’t need to be replaced. However, if you want a more seamless appearance, it’s something that we can certainly do.
Naturally, it all depends upon wear and tear, but on average, you can expect a composite resin filling to last somewhere between 7 and 15 years.
