White Mercury-Free Fillings in Hounslow
At The Dental Suite Hounslow, patient safety and long-term health come first. That’s why we only use **white, mercury-free fillings** (also known as tooth-coloured composite fillings) instead of traditional silver amalgam fillings that contain around 50% mercury.
At the Dental Suite we look first at the safety and well-being of our patients; this is supported by our practice of amalgam-free fillings. That’s why we only use **white, mercury-free fillings** (also known as tooth-coloured composite fillings) instead of traditional silver amalgam fillings that contain around 50% mercury.
Modern composite resin fillings are not only safer and more biocompatible, but they also look completely natural – blending seamlessly with your own teeth so no one can tell you’ve had treatment.
Traditionally, dentists used amalgam to fill cavities, which was a combination of metals, including about 50% mercury. Although it is durable and effective, it is believed to cause a number of serious health problems.
Today, there are various effective and cosmetically superior alternatives to silver coloured mercury amalgam. At the Dental Suite, our main priority is your comfort and long-term health, we endorse the use of white, amalgam free fillings at our practice. Read more about white fillings here.
When Do You Need a White Filling?
We recommend mercury-free white fillings for:
- New cavities or decay
- Replacing old, worn, or unsightly amalgam (silver) fillings
- Chipped, cracked or broken teeth
- Small to medium-sized restorations where aesthetics matter
Our experienced team will assess your teeth and discuss the best material options for your specific case, including composite resin or other high-quality tooth-coloured materials.
The Procedure
Placing a white filling is quick and comfortable under local anaesthetic. We remove any decay, carefully prepare the tooth, and apply the composite material in layers. Each layer is hardened with a special light before the final shaping and polishing – giving you a strong, natural-looking restoration in just one visit.
