White fillings provide a much more natural finish than traditional fillings, which are normally made of a silver appearing metal amalgam.
White fillings are most commonly made of a composite resin that can be colour-matched to the shade of your natural teeth or used to enhance their natural colour by going a shade whiter. Some patients choose to have their metal amalgam fillings replaced with white fillings for a more natural-looking finish.
The process of getting white fillings applied is very similar to that of traditional fillings. We’ll give you a local anaesthetic so that the area being treated is numb, and then we’ll remove any decay that may be present. When we apply the white fillings, the composite resin is applied in several layers and then cured under a bright light until the resin has hardened. Once this is done, you’ll be able to leave the practice with a brighter, more even-looking smile.
“After calling up around 20-30 dental practices none were able to take me in as a new patient, due to Covid. till I called Smile Style, Sara (the receptionist) was very kind to have a word with the doctor and was seeing on the same day, the Doctor was very gentle since I have sore gums, I couldn’t be any happier! As I expected to be in a lot of pain during the treatment. Excellent service throughout the visit. 10/10 for me.”
“Dr Aron Balkin is a truly fantastic Dentist. From the moment you step into the practise, you know that you are being looked after by professionals. His warm nature and level of care are excellent. Would recommend it to anyone who needs a local dentist.”
“Extremely professional, very polite and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend the practice for the entire family. I have started taking my toddler there so as to have regular check up and get used to visiting the dentist. Could not have been a better choice as the first experience has been very positive and actually my son is very excited to go every time. Also, personal visits have been outstanding with the highest service provided at very affordable for the area prices.”
“Yesterday I had my first dental cleaning at this practice. What can I say more than amazing!!! The hygienist has been kind, friendly, really good (painless) and professional at the same time. The environment was really nice and clean. I would definitely come back in a few months. Thanks again. ”
“I've been going to the dentist and hygienist here for almost 25 years even though I no longer live or work in the area. I've always received excellent advice and treatment and would never go anywhere else. All three staff are exceptionally friendly and approach their work with a sensitive and gentle touch.”
“I had my first visit to Smile Style this morning and had a great experience - I look forward to going back in 6 months. The hygienist and the dentist were both incredibly friendly, professional, and punctual. Only great things to share thus far about Smile Style!”
