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.

Three calm steps

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