Fix Cavities & decay

Composite dental fillings for teeth

White composite fillings are not available on the NHS ‑ we can help!

For ages 18 to 80, white composite fillings are the almost invisible way to repair teeth damaged by cavities. Using our proprietary Nanofill™ technology, each hard‑wearing filling is matched to the colour of your natural teeth, meaning no more silver showing when you smile and laugh.

Why choose composite fillings?

Protect, preserve and perfect your teeth


Composite (or white) fillings are a far cry from the silver ones you might remember. Made with advanced resin materials and bonded directly to your tooth, they're durable, discreet and designed to blend beautifully with your natural enamel.

Whether we're repairing new decay or replacing old fillings, you get a treatment that's minimally invasive and highly effective.

Do I need a filling?

Don’t ignore the early signs of decay

Not all cavities hurt - but left untreated, they can compromise your tooth and lead to infection. Early intervention is always better. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it might be time to book a check-up.

Signs you might need a filling:

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Sharp pain when biting
  • A visible hole or dark spot
  • An old metal filling that’s cracked or worn
  • Food getting stuck in one spot
  • A chipped front tooth affecting your confidence

How do composite fillings work?

Seamless. Strong. Done in one visit. Here’s what to expect.

01

Diagnosis

We scan and examine your teeth to identify any damage or decay.

02

Preparation

The decayed area is gently removed, preserving as much natural tooth as possible.

03

Bonding

The composite resin is layered, shaped and cured with light.

04

Finishing

We refine the shape and polish the surface until it looks and feels like your natural tooth.

FAQs

Still have questions about composite fillings?

Here are the ones we get the most.

Find your local composite filling specialist at a Yorkshire Dental Suite clinic near you. We have clinics located throughout the UK who provide our exclusive Nanofill Composite Bonding® formula to create and maintain your beautiful white smile.

With good care, they can last 7-10 years or more. We’ll check their condition at every check-up and advise if any replacements are needed.

They're more stain-resistant than you might think - but over time, exposure to coffee, red wine and smoking can cause some surface discolouration. Regular hygiene visits can help keep them looking their best.

Absolutely. Many patients choose to replace their amalgam fillings for aesthetic reasons - especially when smiling or speaking. We'll assess your existing fillings and let you know what’s possible.

Not with us. We use local anaesthetic to numb the area, and our clinicians work gently and patiently. Most patients are surprised by how quick and easy it feels.

You might notice sensitivity, sharp pain, a visible hole or a rough patch that wasn't there before. But not all cavities cause symptoms - that's why regular check-ups matter. We'll catch issues early before they become bigger problems.

Composite fillings set immediately under light, so you can eat once the numbness wears off. We'll give you full aftercare guidance before you leave.
