White Fillings

A filling does more than patch up a cavity—it helps safeguard the tooth and can play a part in supporting your wider oral health over time.

At Gibside Dental, we use natural-looking white fillings made from carefully chosen, biocompatible materials that blend beautifully with your teeth. No mercury, no grey metal—just safe, durable restorations designed with your health and comfort in mind.

Our approach

We believe dental care should always support long-term well-being. That’s why we:

• Use biocompatible, tooth-coloured materials that integrate naturally with your teeth.
• Provide mercury-free dentistry—no silver fillings, no hidden nasties.
• Focus on minimally invasive techniques, preserving as much healthy tooth as possible.
• Focus on a biomimetic approach – imitating natural human function as closely as possible.
• Take a prevention-first approach, helping you avoid future fillings.

Your treatment journey

• Step 1 – Careful assessment: We examine your tooth using digital scans and photographs, explaining clearly what needs repairing.
  
• Step 2 – Gentle preparation: Only the damaged part of the tooth is removed—healthy structure is preserved.
  
• Step 3 – Layered restoration: The white filling is placed in fine layers, shaped and crafted to fit your tooth naturally.
  
• Step 4 – Finishing touch: The surface is polished so your filling feels smooth, looks natural and blends seamlessly with your smile and bite.
