If you need a filling but want to keep your smile natural, composite (white) fillings are the modern choice. They match the colour of your teeth, blend in perfectly, and strengthen the tooth structure. At Rossett Dental, we use high-quality composite materials to repair teeth safely and discreetly so you can smile with confidence.
Our experienced dentists provide composite fillings for patients across Rossett, Chester, and Wrexham. To discuss your options or book an appointment, call our friendly team or use our online contact form today.
What are composite fillings?
Composite fillings are tooth-coloured restorations made from a blend of resin and glass particles. First developed in the 1960s, today’s materials are stronger, longer lasting, and suitable for both front and back teeth. They bond directly to the tooth, helping to preserve more of your natural structure compared to silver (amalgam) fillings.
What are the advantages of composite fillings?
- Natural appearance that matches your teeth
- No dark or metallic look when you smile
- Bonds securely to the tooth for added strength
- Can be repaired or replaced easily if needed
Are composite fillings more expensive?
Placing a composite filling takes longer and requires more skill than a silver filling. Because it’s classed as a cosmetic treatment, it isn’t available on the NHS and must be paid for privately. Most patients choose this option because it looks better and feels more natural.
How long do composite fillings last?
Modern materials are much more durable than older types of white fillings. Their lifespan depends on the size of the cavity and where it is in your mouth. In many cases, a well-placed composite filling can last for several years with good daily care and regular dental check-ups. Your dentist will always advise you on what to expect based on your individual case.
