White Fillings
White fillings are safe, effective and can make an immediate change to the appearance of your teeth. Whether you need a new filling or wish to replace your old silver fillings, Gosforth Dental Surgery can help bring back that confidence when you laugh, talk and smile. In the past old mercury-based tooth fillings (amalgam) were used as they provided a solution for long lasting protection, however they are easily detectable and extremely unsightly. Thanks to advancements in dentistry, your old metal fillings can now easily be replaced with tooth coloured fillings (known as Composite or White Fillings). The compounds we use at our Newcastle dental practice are made from composite resin and are available in a wide range of shades. Your dentist can confidently colour-match white fillings to your natural teeth colour making them virtually unnoticeable.
