White Composite Fillings
...restoring teeth invisibly.
White fillings at GL1 Dental in Gloucester repair teeth affected by decay, cracks or general wear while staying invisible within your smile. Matched closely to your natural tooth shade, they're a far more discreet option than traditional silver fillings.

Repair damaged teeth without changing how your smile looks.
A composite filling uses a durable, tooth-coloured resin that bonds directly to your tooth, restoring both strength and appearance in one go. We reach for it most often when treating decay, replacing an older filling, or repairing a chip or worn edge — and because the resin bonds rather than just filling a cavity, we generally remove less natural tooth structure than older filling methods required. Every filling is shaped, polished and shade-matched by hand so it settles in seamlessly among your other teeth, making it genuinely difficult to spot where your tooth ends and the repair begins.

White fillings bond directly to your natural tooth and, being colour matched, look far more natural than silver ever could. They're now among the most widely used restorative treatments.
With good hygiene and regular check-ups, composite fillings typically last for years — the exact lifespan depends on the filling's size, your bite and home care.
Yes — we choose a composite shade to closely match your existing tooth, so the filling ends up practically invisible.
Local anaesthetic usually numbs the tooth beforehand, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Mild sensitivity afterwards is normal and typically fades within a few days.
Yes — amalgam fillings can often be swapped for modern white composite where clinically sensible, and we'll advise on this at your examination.
Where too much tooth structure has been lost, an inlay, onlay or crown may be recommended instead. We'll talk through every suitable option before treatment begins.
