Restore Your Smile with Natural-Looking White Fillings

At Evolve Dentistry, our white (composite) fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Made from a tooth-coloured resin, they’re both discreet and strong—ideal for repairing decay, small chips, or old metal fillings.

Why Choose White Fillings?

  • Aesthetic – completely inconspicuous as they match your natural tooth shade.
  • Mercury-free – no more traditional silver amalgam.
  • Conservative – bond to your tooth, requiring less removal of healthy structure.
  • Durable – long-lasting when cared for, ideal for front or back teeth.

Our White Filling Process

  • Consultation & removal – any decay or damaged material is gently removed under local anaesthetic.
  • Shaping & bonding – tooth is etched, bonding applied, then composite layered.
  • Finishing – material is hardened under a visible blus light and polished for smooth, natural feel.

FAQs – White Fillings

  1. What are white fillings made of?

A strong resin composite matched to your tooth colour.

  1. How long do they last?

Typically 5–10 years, often longer with excellent oral care.

  1. Do they contain mercury?

No—they’re fully mercury-free.

  1. Can existing amalgam be replaced?

Yes—many patients swap to white fillings for aesthetic or health reasons.

  1. Is the procedure painful?

We use local anaesthetic to make it entirely comfortable.

  1. How are they cared for?

Brush twice daily, floss regularly and attend dental reviews.

  1. Do they stain?

Composite can stain over time; regular polishing helps maintain appearance. However, at Evolve, because we aim to place all our composite resins under rubber dam, this reduces the staining. 

  1. What if they chip or fall out?

Small repairs are straightforward; larger issues may require replacement.

  1. Can white fillings be used on back teeth (molars)?

Yes, modern composite materials are strong enough for use on back teeth, providing both durability and a natural appearance when you smile or talk.

50km… and counting! 🚲💪

Our Clinical Director, Dr Carol Somerville Roberts, has just completed her longest training ride yet — an incredible 50 kilometres — as she prepares for a life-changing charity cycle from the base of Kilimanjaro to the Ngorongoro Crater in February 2026.

Carol is taking on this huge challenge to raise funds for Bridge2Aid, a charity providing vital emergency dental care and training in Tanzania. The money raised will help run an outreach and training programme where eight Dental Therapists will be trained and around 2,000 people will receive essential dental treatment.

For someone who hasn’t been on a bike in years, months of training in all weathers is no small feat — and we couldn’t be more proud of her determination.

If you’d like to support Carol and help make a genuine difference to communities with little or no access to dental care, you can donate here:

👉 https://www.justgiving.com/page/carol-somerville-roberts-1

Every donation, big or small, will have an immense impact.
Thank you for cheering her on! 💜
You were expecting a big before-and-after reveal, weren’t you? 😁

A few seconds a day can help prevent costly treatments later.
