Composite Fillings Liverpool
Composite Fillings
White fillings over the last decade have become ever increasingly popular, providing an alternative to silver coloured amalgam fillings. Made from a composite resin, the filling completely blends with your tooth and even looking very closely is hard to spot the difference between your natural tooth and the filling.
Strong and durable, fillings offer a great solution incorporating both style and substance. Treatment is very straightforward and a local anaesthetic is used to prevent any discomfort or pain.
Often, fillings are used to restore teeth following cavity treatment, removing the decayed area of your tooth. They can also be used to repair cracked, worn and broken teeth.
On visiting our Liverpool practice, treatment can be carried out in a single visit and our dentists will be able to match the colour of your filling to your existing tooth colour, giving a very natural result.
Before & After
Questions & Answers
Q: What are amalgam fillings?
A: Amalgam or silver fillings are the metal coloured fillings that many people have. Amalgam was the traditional material used for fillings for many years.
Q: Why should I consider white fillings?
Q: Can I get them on the NHS?
There is a slight chance that some people may be sensitive to the metals used in silver amalgam fillings. If this sensitivity is proven, it may be best to replace the amalgam fillings with another type. (In very exceptional cases these replacements may be available on the NHS, if a consultant decides that a patient is extremely sensitive to these materials and asks for them to be replaced.)
Q: Are they expensive?
A: Because many white fillings are only available privately, costs can vary quite a lot from dentist to dentist. Costs usually depend on the size and type of white filling used and the time it takes to complete the treatment. Costs may also vary from region to region – costs are competitive in Liverpool. As a guide, white fillings start from around £40 each, but your dentist will be able to give you an idea of the cost before you agree to treatment.
Q: Are they as good as silver amalgam fillings?
Q: Is it worth replacing my amalgam fillings with white ones?
Some dentists prefer not to put white fillings in back teeth, as they are not always successful. One way around this would be to use crowns or inlays, but this can mean removing more of the tooth and can be more expensive.
Q: What are tooth-coloured fillings made of?
A: This can vary, but they are mainly made of glass particles, synthetic resin and a setting ingredient. Your dentist in Liverpool should be able to give you more information about the particular material that they use.
Q: Where can I get them done?
Q: Are there any alternatives to fillings?
The dentist has to remove less of the tooth, which is obviously better.
As we have already said, there are alternatives such as crowns and inlays although they can cost a lot more. Veneers can be used on front teeth instead of crowns or fillings.

On behalf of my sister I need to pay tribute to the amazing dentist Aisling and her assistant Riella. The time and dedication they have put in to my sisters treatment program has been outstanding. My sister suffers from the most horrific dentist anxiety, and Aisling and the entire team have been amazing with her.
I am also registered with Cromer and see the incomparable Colin whose service and knowledge is also outstanding.
Thank you team Cromer
I’m exceptionally pleased with the outcome of my composite bonding treatment. Tom explained everything before, during and after the procedure, and addressed any questions and concerns. I wanted a natural look, and the result is far better than I could ever have expected. Thank you, Tom!
