What Are Composite Fillings?
Composite fillings are tooth-coloured fillings made from a blend of resin and fine glass particles. They are bonded directly onto the tooth to repair a cavity, restoring its shape and strength while matching the natural colour of your enamel — which is why they're often called white fillings.
At Mint Dental Care, this direct composite restoration is shaped, layered, and hardened with a curing light in a single visit. The result is a strong, metal-free restoration that looks completely natural and protects the tooth from further decay.
- Resin composite filling matched to your tooth shade
- Bonds directly to the tooth for a tight, sealed fit
- Preserves more of your healthy natural tooth
- A discreet, metal-free alternative to silver fillings
Composite vs. Amalgam Fillings: Which Is Better?
Both materials repair cavities, but tooth-coloured composite has become the modern choice for most patients who want a natural, metal-free result.
Composite Fillings
- Tooth-coloured — virtually invisible
- Metal-free restorations, mercury-free
- Bonds to the tooth and preserves more enamel
- Ideal for front and visible teeth
Amalgam Fillings
- Hard-wearing and long established
- Often a lower upfront cost
- Dark silver colour that shows when you smile
- Requires removing more healthy tooth structure
How Long Do Composite Fillings Last?
With good care, modern white fillings typically last between 7 and 10 years — and often longer. A few key factors influence how long your restoration stays at its best.
Fillings on hard-chewing back teeth take more force than those on front teeth.
Consistent brushing and flossing protect the seal and keep new decay away.
Frequent grinding or very hard, sticky foods can wear a filling down sooner.
Routine visits let us spot and refresh a filling long before any problem grows.

Yes. Today's high-strength composites are designed to handle the chewing pressure of molars and premolars, making a direct composite restoration a reliable, tooth-coloured choice for back teeth as well as front teeth.
Caring for Teeth with Composite Fillings
Looking after a tooth-coloured filling is simple — the same good habits that protect your natural teeth will keep your white fillings healthy for years.
Brush Twice Daily
Use a fluoride toothpaste and a soft brush to keep the filling and gumline clean.
Floss Every Day
Cleaning between teeth stops new decay forming around the edges of the restoration.
Limit Staining Drinks
Coffee, tea, and red wine can slowly stain composite, so rinse or brush after.
Avoid Hard Habits
Don't chew ice or open packets with your teeth — protect the filling from chipping.

Omar Othman Frequently Asked Questions
Does getting a composite filling hurt?01
No. The area is fully numbed with local anaesthetic before any work begins, so you won't feel pain during your cavity treatment. Most patients feel only mild, short-lived sensitivity afterwards.
How soon can I eat after a composite filling?02
Composite hardens instantly under the curing light, so you can usually eat as soon as the numbness wears off. We suggest waiting until full feeling returns to avoid biting your cheek or lip.
Can old silver amalgam fillings be replaced with white ones?03
Yes. We routinely remove dark amalgam fillings and replace them with tooth-coloured, metal-free restorations for a more natural look and a mercury-free smile.
Will my composite filling stain over time?04
High-quality composite resists staining well, but coffee, tea, and smoking can gradually discolour it. Good brushing and regular polishing at your check-ups keep white fillings looking fresh.
Is dental bonding the same as a composite filling?05
They use the same tooth-coloured material. A dental bonding filling repairs a cavity, while cosmetic bonding reshapes or improves the look of a healthy tooth — both rely on the same resin.
Are composite fillings safe for children?06
Yes. Tooth-coloured fillings are a safe, metal-free option for children and adults alike, and are a popular mercury-free choice for treating cavities in young patients.
