White Fillings in Witney
Fillings today are the most common of all dental procedures, and with advances in modern dental technology, they now look more natural than ever before. Many people feel self-conscious about their silver or metal fillings, which can be noticeable when smiling or speaking. One way to improve the cosmetic appearance of your smile is to replace old metal-coloured fillings with tooth-coloured alternatives, known as white fillings. This is a safe, effective procedure that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
At Long Hanborough Dental Practice, we’re proud to offer white fillings Witney patients can trust for a natural-looking, durable, and long-lasting result. Whether you are having a new cavity treated or wish to replace older fillings, white fillings can enhance both the function and aesthetics of your smile.
Our expert team are here to provide gentle, high-quality care, and if you’re ready to book your white fillings Witney, we’d be delighted to look after you.
Natural-Looking Appearance
White fillings are carefully colour-matched to your natural teeth, creating a seamless and discreet restoration.
Durable & Reliable Solution
Made from modern composite materials, white fillings are strong, long-lasting, and suitable for restoring everyday function.
Preserves More Natural Tooth
Less of the tooth typically needs to be removed before placement, helping to maintain healthy tooth tissue while repairing decay, chips, wear, or damage.
Carefully selected whitening systems
Professional Whitening You Can Trust
Whitewash Laboratories are the leading teeth whitening and oral care manufacturers, and the Home Whitening System and other products they offer have been developed and formulated by leading UK dentists. Their whitening gel has a higher fluoride content than most to help reduce the risk of sensitivity to the teeth. It also contains aloe vera to help reduce the risk of burning the gum tissue. We really like this brand and feel it is a great choice for our patients.
How it Works
1.
Examination & X-Ray
Before placing a filling, we take an X-ray to assess the extent of the damage and determine how close any decay is to the nerve of the tooth.
2.
Comfort & Cleaning
If decay is present, the area is numbed to ensure a comfortable experience, and the decayed portion of the tooth is carefully cleaned and prepared.
3.
Filling & Restoration
The white filling material is then bonded directly to the tooth, rebuilding its structure so you can bite, chew, and smile as normal.

Will I need an X-ray before a filling?
Yes, an X-ray is often taken to assess the extent of decay and check how close it is to the nerve, helping your dentist plan the most appropriate treatment.
Does getting a filling hurt?
No, the area is usually numbed with a local anaesthetic, so most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure.
How long do white fillings last?
White fillings can last many years with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, although their lifespan depends on the size and location of the filling.
Can I eat normally after a filling?
Yes, but it’s best to wait until the numbness wears off. Your dentist will advise you if any temporary precautions are needed.
