Why Shaw patients choose us for white composite fillings

Shaw and Crompton patients often tell us the drive is worth it for a practice where they feel genuinely looked after. Our dentists welcome people from Shaw for routine care, for cosmetic treatments like whitening and bonding, and for bigger plans such as implants and dentures.

Composite is a tooth-coloured material that bonds directly onto the surface of your tooth. It is used to fill cavities and can also make small cosmetic improvements where teeth have minor differences in position, shape or contour.

For small cosmetic changes, the underlying tooth is often left undisturbed, so an anaesthetic is rarely needed. Like natural teeth, composite can stain or chip over the years, and may need polishing or replacing in time. Composite is especially useful for younger patients whose teeth are still developing.

White Fillings

What white fillings can do

  • Repair decay

    Replace decayed tooth with a strong filling that matches your natural shade.

  • Close small gaps

    Add a little width to teeth to close small spaces between them.

  • Disguise a twisted tooth

    Reshape a tooth so it lines up visually with its neighbours.

  • Fix chips and wear

    Rebuild chipped or worn edges and restore a smooth, even smile.

  • Steady your bite

    Stabilise your bite while we plan a longer-term restoration.

What happens

Three calm steps

  1. Step 1: Prepare

    We numb the tooth if needed and gently remove any decay.

  2. Step 2: Match and build

    We choose the shade, then build the filling up in thin layers, setting each with a blue light.

  3. Step 3: Shape and polish

    We shape the filling to your bite and polish it to a natural shine.
