White Fillings
Restore cavities or replace visible metal fillings with natural-looking white dental fillings in Cullompton, near Exeter and Tiverton.
Discreet protection for a healthier smile
White dental fillings provide an effective and natural-looking way to repair teeth affected by decay, small fractures or everyday wear. Made from tooth-coloured composite material, they are carefully matched and shaped to blend with your surrounding teeth while restoring strength and function.
At Gold’s Place Dental, we provide white fillings for new cavities and may also replace suitable existing metal fillings where clinically appropriate. Our private dental practice in Cullompton welcomes patients from across Mid Devon, including Exeter and Tiverton.
Choosing the right filling for your tooth
The right option will depend on the position and condition of the tooth, the size of the repair and the forces placed upon it. Our dentist will assess your tooth and explain the most appropriate choices before treatment begins.
Traditional metal fillings
Traditional amalgam fillings are made from a combination of metals and have been used in dentistry for many years. They are durable but have a silver-grey appearance, which can make them noticeable when you speak or smile.
Amalgam does not bond directly to the tooth, and more tooth structure may sometimes need to be removed to hold the filling securely in place.
White composite fillings
White fillings are created from a tooth-coloured composite resin that can be matched to the natural shade of your smile. The material bonds directly to the tooth and is carefully sculpted to restore its original shape and function.
Their discreet appearance makes white fillings particularly popular for visible teeth, although they can also be suitable for many teeth further back in the mouth.

White dental fillings are made of composite resin, a tooth-coloured material composed of a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. This material allows the fillings to blend seamlessly with the natural colour of your teeth.
With proper care and maintenance, white dental fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. Factors affecting their longevity include the location of the filling, your oral hygiene habits, and the amount of wear and tear from chewing.
