White Fillings in Lewisham for Natural Looking Tooth Restoration

ChatGPT said:

At ToothBrush Dental in Lewisham, we provide white (composite) dental fillings to restore decayed, chipped or worn teeth in a natural-looking, metal-free way. Composite fillings are tooth-coloured and blend seamlessly with your smile, making them an ideal choice for both front and back teeth. Our practice is amalgam-free, which means we do not use silver or mercury-containing fillings – only modern, aesthetic materials designed to protect both your teeth and your confidence.

White composite fillings work by bonding directly to the tooth surface, allowing us to preserve more of your natural tooth structure compared with traditional metal fillings. They can be used to treat new cavities, repair broken or chipped edges, close small gaps and even replace old, dark amalgam fillings that you no longer like the look of. Because the material is carefully shade-matched to your own teeth, the result is a smooth, discreet restoration that looks and feels like part of your natural tooth.

During your appointment, our clinician will gently remove any decay, clean the area and build up the tooth with layers of composite resin. The filling is shaped to match your bite and hardened with a special light, then polished for a comfortable, long-lasting finish. We will explain each step clearly, show you the areas of concern and discuss how to best look after your new restoration at home.

If you’re looking for tooth-coloured fillings, white fillings or amalgam-free dentistry in Lewisham, ToothBrush Dental is here to help. Whether you need a new filling or would like to replace older metal work for a more natural look, contact us today to book an appointment and restore your teeth with strong, aesthetic composite fillings.

When a Tooth Starts to Show Signs of Decay

A small cavity can feel easy to ignore, but leaving it untreated allows decay to spread deeper into the tooth.

This can lead to sensitivity, breakage, or the need for more complex treatment later. Early care keeps the tooth healthier for longer.

At ToothBrush Dental in Lewisham, you receive gentle guidance and clear explanations, making it simple to take action before the problem grows.
