White Fillings


A damaged or decayed tooth doesn’t just affect your dental health, it can also impact your confidence when you smile. At Sharples Dental Practice in Bolton, we offer white fillings that blend naturally with your existing teeth, restoring both function and appearance. These fillings are designed to be discreet, durable, and long-lasting, giving you the confidence to smile, laugh, and speak without hesitation.

What Is a White Filling?

White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a modern alternative to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. They are made from a composite resin material that can be carefully colour-matched to your natural teeth, meaning your restoration is virtually invisible.

These fillings are used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay, minor cracks, or chips. Because the material bonds directly to the tooth surface, it provides a strong and supportive seal, reducing the risk of further damage or decay.

At Sharples Dental Practice, we take time to ensure your white filling is shaped and polished to fit seamlessly with your bite, making it comfortable as well as natural-looking.

What Are the Benefits of White Fillings

Choosing a white filling comes with several advantages:

  • Natural Appearance: Unlike silver fillings, composites are designed to blend perfectly with your natural tooth colour, so nobody will know you’ve had treatment.
  • Minimally Invasive: Less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed when placing a composite filling, which helps preserve the natural strength of your tooth.
  • Durable and Long-Lasting: Modern white filling materials are strong enough to withstand daily chewing forces, making them a reliable solution for both front and back teeth.
  • Versatility: White fillings can be used not only to treat cavities but also to repair chipped, worn, or slightly misshapen teeth, improving both function and aesthetics.
  • Mercury-Free: Unlike traditional amalgam, white fillings do not contain mercury, making them a more popular choice for patients concerned about materials.

By investing in white fillings, you’re not only protecting your oral health but also ensuring that your smile remains bright and confident.

I managed to get an emergency appointment with this dentist within 2 hours of me ringing after trying for 2 weeks to get an urgent appointment with my dentist .from going into the reception to seeing the dentist there was nothing but professionalism. The receptionists were happy and polite and the dentist and her dental nurse I have nothing but praise for . They were very kind , made me feel at ease and more to the point made me feel very welcome which was very much appreciated . I was treated paid my bill and left with the feeling that I am actually considering changing from my own dentist my experience was so nice . Nothing like my dentist .

I put off going to the dentist longer than I should has I’ve had less than satisfactory service in the past, leaving me very apprehensive. Sharples was recommended and I was not disappointed. Rebecca performed an extraction today, and my actual words on completion was “Wow” the procedure was over in minutes and totally pain free. Thank you

After struggling with a very old crown on my molar tooth, pain and the old crown falling out, I needed a practice nearby with great reviews. Last night, I woke with pain and contacted Sharples Dental based on their customer reviews through their webpage. At 9.00am today I was called by the receptionist to offer an urgent appt. I was seen at lunch time same day, X-ray taken which showed an infection. The tooth (what was left of it) was beyond repair, so I was offered an extraction the same day or to choose a later date, so chose to get it over with. The staff were all so caring, professional and the practice is modern and welcoming. I can definitely recommend Sharples Dental practice and it will be the practice I’ll be using from now on.

I'm a very nervous patient and not been to the new dentist since it was taken over. Hannah really put my mind at ease and was so lovely. She explained everything in detail to me before having anything done.

Had avoided getting my teeth seen in 5 years! Dental fear, came for a clean with the hygienist Carly and she instantly took my fear away and came away feeling great!
