White fillings for Whitworth

Why Whitworth patients choose us for white composite fillings

Whitworth patients come to us from Facit, Hallfold and Shawforth for calm, unhurried dentistry. Our team is used to welcoming people from across the Rochdale and Rossendale border, including nervous patients who want a practice that will take things at their pace.

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.
