Composite fillings offer a natural-looking solution for repairing damaged teeth. Made from a mixture of plastic resin and powdered glass, these tooth-coloured restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while effectively treating decay, cracks and chips. At London Dental Specialists, we understand you may have questions about durability, procedure comfort, and advantages compared to traditional options. While composite fillings typically last 5-10 years, proper care can extend their lifespan. Our dentists use local anaesthetic during the procedure to ensure your comfort, and many patients appreciate that these fillings require less tooth structure removal than amalgam alternatives. We're committed to helping you understand all aspects of composite fillings so you can make informed decisions about your dental health.
Composite fillings are tooth-coloured dental restorations made from a mixture of plastic resin and powdered glass filler. They are designed to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. At London Dental Specialists, we use high-quality composite materials that bond directly to the tooth structure, providing both functional restoration and aesthetic improvement for damaged teeth.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups at London Dental Specialists, composite fillings can last between 5-10 years. Many of our patients maintain their fillings for 12 years or longer when they follow recommended care protocols. The longevity of your composite filling depends on several factors including:
At London Dental Specialists, we ensure your comfort throughout the composite filling procedure. When decay removal is necessary, we recommend using local anaesthetic, which prevents you from feeling any pain during the treatment.

Our experienced dentists prioritise gentle techniques to minimise any discomfort.
