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.

White Fillings That Blend In
We use high-quality composite resin to repair teeth affected by decay, chips or wear, carefully shade-matched so your filling is virtually invisible. Because composite bonds directly to the tooth, we can often preserve more of your natural tooth structure than with traditional silver fillings. White fillings are also mercury-free and can be used to replace old amalgam fillings for a more natural smile. We believe they’re a great choice for patients who want a repair that looks as good as it feels.
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.
