Composite Fillings

Composite Fillings in Forest Hill & Dulwich

Most people have fillings, especially nowadays when we pay more attention to our smiles. A natural-looking option such as composite or tooth-coloured fillings can be chosen for a seamless appearance.

Many patients are unaware they need fillings, which is why regular dental check-ups are so important.

Fillings are necessary when decay causes cavities or holes in your teeth.

White fillings can be used at the front or back of the mouth. They provide an ideal, natural-looking way to restore strength and function to damaged teeth. Dr Arman Barfeie also uses white fillings to repair cracked or chipped teeth, restoring their natural appearance. Additionally, they can be used to close gaps and reshape uneven or short teeth.

White fillings provide a quick and affordable solution to a variety of dental issues, including:

Cracks in your teeth
Chips to your teeth
Closing gaps between teeth
Reshaping short or uneven teeth
Tooth decay
Discolouration
Replacing metal or amalgam fillings

If left untreated, bacteria can penetrate the tooth, leading to painful infections and other dental diseases.

This often results in tooth loss, so it is crucial to address any dental problems promptly to prevent them from worsening.

FAQs :

Why should I consider composite fillings?

Most people prefer tooth-coloured fillings because they look natural, making them virtually invisible when you smile or laugh. Composite fillings, often referred to as “white fillings,” come in a variety of shades to perfectly match the natural colour of your teeth.

Can I replace my existing amalgam fillings with composite fillings?

Yes, you can. However, we generally advise that any fillings should only be replaced when clinically necessary — for example, if decay develops beneath or around an existing filling, or if the filling becomes damaged. In some cases, where fillings are large or extensive, composite may not be suitable, and a porcelain inlay might be recommended instead.

How long do composite fillings last?

At our practice, 96% of the composite fillings we place on front teeth last more than five years. We are very confident in the durability and quality of our composite fillings.
