━ When a filling helps
Restore the tooth,
keep the look.
Fillings repair teeth affected by decay, wear, chips or a failing older restoration. Composite bonds to the tooth, so your dentist can often keep more of the natural structure than with older materials.
Decay found at a check-up
Chipped or worn edges
Sensitivity when eating or drinking
Old, discoloured or leaking fillings
━ What we treat
Everyday repairs, carefully done.
Composite is a versatile material used for a wide range of small to moderate repairs.
Tooth decay
Chipped teeth
Small fractures on front or back teeth can often be rebuilt without a crown.
Worn edges
Grinding and acid wear can thin tooth edges, which composite can help restore.
Replacing old fillings
Sensitive necks of teeth
Exposed areas at the gum line can be covered to reduce sensitivity.
Small gaps
Minor spaces between teeth can sometimes be closed with careful bonding.

━ Questions answered
White fillings FAQs.
Straightforward answers to the questions patients in Birmingham ask us most often.
Modern composites are strong and well suited to most fillings. Your dentist will advise if a heavily broken tooth would be better restored with an onlay or crown.
Local anaesthetic is used when it is needed to keep you comfortable. Very small or superficial repairs can sometimes be done without it.
Lifespan depends on the size of the filling, your bite, oral hygiene and habits such as grinding. Regular check-ups let your dentist monitor them over time.
Existing fillings can be replaced when they are failing, worn or causing concern. Your dentist will discuss whether replacement is appropriate for your tooth.
Yes. We are based in Erdington and see patients from across Birmingham, including Sutton Coldfield and the surrounding areas.
