FAQs

Have a question about composite fillings in Didsbury?

What are composite fillings made of, and are they safe?

Composite fillings, also known as white fillings, are made from a blend of tooth-coloured resin and glass particles. They’re completely safe, mercury-free, and designed to bond naturally with your tooth for a seamless look and strong hold.

Do composite fillings last as long as metal fillings?

Yes, when properly placed and cared for, modern composite fillings can last many years. At Pearl Smile in Didsbury, we use advanced materials and precise techniques to ensure durability in both front and back teeth.

Are composite fillings just for cosmetic reasons?

Not at all. While they do offer aesthetic advantages, composite fillings are also functional and strong. They’re ideal for repairing decayed, chipped, or worn teeth, offering a natural appearance without compromising strength.

Will my composite filling be visible when I smile?

Highly unlikely. We colour-match the filling to your natural tooth shade, ensuring it blends in so well that even you might forget which tooth had the work done.

Can old silver fillings be replaced with composite fillings?

Yes. Many of our patients in Didsbury choose to replace old amalgam (metal) fillings with composite fillings for a more natural look and to avoid potential sensitivity to metals.

How long does a composite filling appointment take?

Most composite fillings can be completed in a single visit, typically in under an hour. The exact time depends on the size and location of the cavity.

Do composite fillings require special care?

No special care needed, just maintain good oral hygiene. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will help your composite fillings stay in top shape.

Are composite fillings suitable for children and teens?

Absolutely. They’re a safe, discreet option for younger patients, and we often recommend them for treating cavities in visible areas of the mouth.

Will getting a composite filling hurt?

Not at all. We use gentle local anaesthetic to ensure you’re completely comfortable throughout the procedure. Many patients say it feels like getting a quick polish.

How do I know if I need a composite filling?

If you’re experiencing sensitivity, visible damage, or we spot decay during your check-up, a composite filling might be recommended. We’ll always explain your options clearly during your visit at Pearl Smile in Didsbury.
