Dental Fillings Manchester

For natural-looking dental fillings in Manchester, Parkfield Dental in Didsbury offers tooth-coloured composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Whether you need a new filling for a cavity or want to replace old silver amalgam fillings with white fillings, our experienced team serves patients from across South Manchester — including Withington, Chorlton, Fallowfield, Burnage, and Heaton Mersey.

What Are Tooth-Coloured Fillings?

Tooth-coloured composite fillings are made from a durable resin material carefully matched to the shade of your natural teeth. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, white fillings are virtually invisible and bond directly to the tooth structure, meaning less healthy tooth needs to be removed during preparation.

We use tooth-coloured fillings for both new cavities and to replace old mercury amalgam fillings, giving you a healthier-looking smile and removing concerns about the appearance of metal in your mouth.

Frequently Asked Questions – Dental Fillings Manchester

How much do tooth-coloured fillings cost in Manchester?

Filling costs vary depending on the size and location of the cavity. We’ll provide a clear price at your examination. Membership plan patients may have routine fillings included.

Are white fillings as strong as silver amalgam?

Modern composite fillings are strong and durable for most teeth. For very large cavities in back teeth, your dentist may discuss alternative options such as a crown, they’ll advise what’s best for your situation.

Can I replace my old silver fillings with white ones?

Yes. Many patients choose to replace old amalgam fillings with tooth-coloured composite for a more natural look. Our team will assess each filling and advise whether replacement is recommended.

How long do composite fillings last?

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, tooth-coloured fillings typically last 5-10 years. We’ll monitor them at your regular appointments.

Do fillings hurt?

The area is numbed before treatment so you shouldn’t feel any pain. Some sensitivity is normal for a day or two afterwards, but most patients find fillings very straightforward at Parkfield.
