White Fillings in Adelaide
Strong, Natural-Looking, Tooth-Coloured Repairs
White fillings restore teeth affected by decay, chips or wear using tooth-coloured materials that blend seamlessly with your natural enamel. They are a modern, metal-free alternative to old silver amalgam fillings.
We offer high-quality white fillings in composite resin and porcelain, matched carefully to the shade of your teeth to restore structure, strength and function.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do white fillings look natural?
Yes. Composite and porcelain are shade-matched to your teeth so the repair blends in.
Can you replace my old silver fillings?
Often, yes. If an amalgam filling is failing or you’d prefer a natural look, we can discuss replacing it with a white filling or ceramic inlay/onlay.
Does getting a filling hurt?
We use local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. Mild sensitivity afterwards usually settles within a few days.
How much do white fillings cost?
Costs depend on the size and location of the filling and the material used. We provide a written, itemised estimate before treatment begins. Private health fund rebates (HICAPS) are processed on site, and flexible interest-free payment options (Afterpay, Zip and DentiCare) are available.
