- White Fillings
We’d love to hear from you! If you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit, please get in touch.
Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, white fillings are designed to blend with the natural shade of your teeth. The composite material is placed directly onto the prepared tooth before being carefully sculpted to recreate its natural shape.
Once polished, the restoration should sit comfortably within your bite and appear discreet when you smile, laugh or speak.
White fillings can be used to:
At Castle Bromwich Dental Care, we provide natural-looking white fillings for patients from Castle Bromwich, Birmingham, Solihull, Water Orton, Shard End, Hodge Hill, Chelmsley Wood and Smith’s Wood.

If you have toothache, sensitivity, a broken filling or concerns about the appearance of an existing restoration, contact our friendly team to arrange an appointment.

White fillings are usually made from composite resin—a strong, tooth-coloured material containing a blend of resin and fine glass particles. It is available in different shades so that it can be matched closely to your natural tooth.
The tooth will usually be numbed with local anaesthetic. Your dentist will carefully remove any decay or damaged filling material before cleaning and preparing the tooth.
The composite is then placed in layers, shaped and hardened using a special curing light. The filling is polished, and your bite is checked before treatment is completed.
Local anaesthetic is normally used when required, so you should remain comfortable during treatment. The tooth may feel mildly sensitive afterwards, but this will usually settle. Please contact us if discomfort persists or worsens.
White fillings can last for many years, although their lifespan depends on the size and position of the restoration, your bite, diet, oral hygiene and whether you grind your teeth.
Regular dental examinations allow us to check your fillings for signs of wear, leakage or damage.
Yes, modern composite materials can be used to restore many back teeth. However, their suitability depends on the size of the cavity, the amount of healthy tooth remaining and the forces placed on the tooth.
If a tooth has lost a significant amount of structure, your dentist may recommend an inlay, onlay or crown instead.
Existing amalgam fillings can sometimes be replaced with tooth-coloured restorations. However, we would not normally recommend removing a healthy filling without first considering the risks and benefits.
Your dentist will examine the filling and advise whether replacement is appropriate for your tooth.
We select the shade of composite carefully and shape the restoration to complement your tooth. Although no dental material is identical to natural enamel, the aim is to create a discreet restoration that blends attractively with your smile.
Care for your restored tooth by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between your teeth and attending regular dental examinations.
Avoid biting very hard objects or using your teeth to open packaging, as this can damage both natural teeth and fillings.

I’m extremely happy with my teeth bonding and my new smile! From start to finish, I felt very comfortable and well looked after. The result looks really natural and has made a huge difference to my smile and confidence.
Dr Zunezo Sadiq was professional, patient and really listened to what I wanted. I’m genuinely very pleased with the final result and would definitely recommend the practice to anyone considering cosmetic dental treatment.
Thank you so much for giving me a smile I’m really happy with! 😊

I have had a phobia of dentists for donkeys years, hence the problems I'm having now and have only been a patient here for months rather than years, but I would not go anywhere else. Dr. Zulfikar Alam is a wonderful dentist - he is patient, explains everything, reduces my anxiety and is excellent at his job. I would like to thank him for his patience and perseverance this week, after a very difficult extraction! Thank you so much and kind regards.
My Dental Practice. Reliable good doctors and very efficient.
Been registered with this dentist for 15+ years and I find the reception staff polite and the dentists professional and keep you at ease for any kind of treatment you may need. Highly recommend
