Natural looking, long lasting restorations with Dental Fillings in Newmarket for healthier smiles
Today's composite fillings protect the teeth and the smile by eliminating metal components.
Do your teeth need restoration but you want to keep your smile natural?
At Alderley Dental, a short 5 minute drive from Newmarket in Newmarket, we offer natural looking, tooth coloured dental fillings that blend seamlessly with your smile. Today’s composite materials are designed not only to repair decay and damage but also to preserve your natural tooth structure and provide a durable solution without the need for metal.
We use high quality composite resin to restore teeth affected by decay, cracks or wear. These fillings are also ideal for cosmetic improvements such as closing small gaps, reshaping uneven teeth and masking discolouration. All while maintaining the natural appearance of your teeth.
By eliminating metal components, modern white fillings also reduce the risk of sensitivity and improve overall comfort and aesthetics.

Benefits of Tooth Coloured Dental Fillings in Newmarket
Tooth coloured composite fillings are increasingly preferred by patients in Newmarket, not only because of their subtle appearance but also due to their performance.
The obvious advantage is that white fillings blend visually with your tooth enamel and do not stand out. They just don’t look like a filling at all. We will choose a shade of white to match to your teeth so no one will be able to even notice them.
These are some of the top benefits of tooth-coloured fillings:
- Natural aesthetics: We match the filling to your natural tooth shade, making it virtually invisible
- No metals or mercury: Ideal for patients with metal sensitivities or those looking for a holistic approach
- Reduced sensitivity: Composite resin offers better insulation than amalgam.
- Durability and strength: Bonds directly to the tooth, increasing strength and supporting the natural structure.
- Conservative treatment: Requires less removal of the natural tooth compared to traditional amalgam fillings.
Natural looking fillings are a great way to look after your teeth whilst maintaining a beautiful smile. The material used is a composite resin mimics your natural enamel in flexibility and strength, reducing the likelihood of cracked teeth. A metal filling reacts more dramatically to temperature changes that can, over time, crack your tooth.
Decades ago, metal fillings were the only option available. We believe that modern white fillings provide better results by combining both aesthetics and durability. While controversy exists around the mercury component of metal fillings, many people prefer to avoid amalgam fillings as a precautionary measure, especially when patients have metal sensitivities.
What to Expect during the Dental Filling Process?
The tooth is first cleaned of any decay or damage and all the bacteria removed. Then your experienced dentist will use an intricate set of steps that clean, desensitise and bond the white filling to your natural tooth.
When it is complete, we use a curing light to harden the material and test your bite to ensure that opposing teeth come together comfortably.
Filling Options and When to Consider Alternatives
While composite fillings are a fantastic solution for many cases, we offer a range of restorative options to meet more extensive needs.
There are a number of different alternatives that we can use for your fillings.
- Gold is an excellent material but is only chosen by some due to it being obvious.
- Composite resin: this is our recommended material for small-medium sized cavities
- Gold or porcelain inlay/onlay: These materials are best for large cavities due to their durability and strength
- Crowns: We recommend a crown when there is extreme tooth damage (more than 70 per cent of the tooth).
With our modern technology, we use CEREC technology to craft custom porcelain restorations, including crowns, onlays, and inlaysin in a single visit.
