White Fillings & Veneers

White fillings have been around for a long time and are the easiest, quickest and so often the first step in improving your smile. Advances in material technology means that white fillings can enhance your smile for many years. These fillings are often called 'composite fillings'.

Composite fillings result in a natural-looking smile. The colour can be closely matched to your natural teeth, so that the end results are nearly undetectable. The filling material actually 'sticks' to your own tooth, and so can be very useful in teeth that have cracks appearing. The material is placed directly into the cavity and then a special 'blue' light is used to set the material. You do not need to let the filling harden, as you get an instant set. The durability of resin tooth-filling material has not been time-tested, but continual improvements in the product have made resins nearly as durable as amalgam fillings. Your dentist will be able to advise you if a white filling is the best option for your tooth, as each one is judged on its merits.


Veneers are thin individual hand-crafted wafers of porcelain, bonded to teeth to create a new front surface. Veneers can be used to change shape, size, colour and position of a tooth. They are often described as being like a 'false finger nail' stuck onto the surface of the tooth.

By employing veneers, it is possible to close gaps, whiten discoloured teeth and align crowded teeth.

  • What is a veneer?

    A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth, like false fingernails fit over a nail.

  • When would I consider a veneer?

    Veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of your teeth and fill gaps or spaces.

  • What are the advantages of veneers?

    Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy and create a uniform appearance in terms of shape, colour and alignment.
