At Malmesbury Dental & Specialist Referral Centre, we use white fillings (also called composite fillings) to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, trauma, or wear. White fillings are a popular choice because they are natural-looking, durable, and blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.

A filling may be required if a tooth has:
If left untreated, these issues can cause pain, sensitivity, further decay, or even infection. A filling restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and function while protecting it from future damage.
White fillings are made from a composite resin, a tooth-coloured material that is safe, strong, and designed to match your natural tooth shade.
The dentist will remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, clean the area, and then apply the composite resin in layers.
Each layer is hardened using a special light, and the tooth is then shaped and polished to blend naturally.
The procedure is generally painless.
Local anaesthetic will always be offered and strongly advised if the decay is deep or the tooth is sensitive. Most patients only feel minor pressure during treatment.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, white fillings can last many years, though they may eventually need repair or replacement due to wear.
Yes.
They can be used on front and back teeth, although very large restorations on back teeth may sometimes require alternative materials like crowns, inlays or onlays for extra strength.
A rubber dam is a small, soft sheet used to isolate your tooth during a filling or other dental treatment.
It keeps the area dry, clean, and free from saliva, making the procedure safer and more effective.
Benefits of using a rubber dam for the patients:

Very pleasant and well-equipped new dental surgery. The staff were very welcoming and explained everything clearly.
I received excellent care at the brand-new dental practice in Malmesbury and would recommend it as a family dental practice. I was looking for a new dentist as the one I had been with for decades was retiring. It’s conveniently situated just off the main roundabout into Malmesbury and is the first turn on the left just before Malmesbury Primary Care Centre — plenty of easy parking. The building itself is beautifully converted from the old police station and is light and airy, with calming decor. The dental nurses were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, even taking time to show me round the practice. Everything is new, and the facilities are equipped to a high standard. Dr Alzin, the dentist I saw, was very professional, explained all procedures thoroughly, and provided valuable tips for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. I look forward to my return visit in 6 months for my next routine check-up. Thank you, everyone. I genuinely enjoyed my visit today.
I visited on opening day and had a great experience. The staff were lovely and offered refreshments upon arrival, everything was fully explained to me, and various options were given. Highly recommended!
Fantastic dentist and a great experience. Great staff and new equipment.
I have recently moved back to Malmesbury and found myself in need of an emergency dental appointment. I called Malmesbury Dental & Specialist Referral Centre, and they booked me in the very same day. The service has been outstanding, and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Each dentist is incredibly knowledgeable and has helped me massively. I can’t recommend them highly enough for anyone who needs a quality dentist.
I was referred to Imogen by my dentist for specialist periodontal treatment. After consultation and two treatment sessions, I can say that Imogen is knowledgeable, encouraging, kind and sympathetic. Highly recommended!
I highly recommend Malmesbury Dental. They have been incredibly friendly since my husband and I joined in recent weeks. Imogen has explained everything in detail, and I look forward to continuing with my dental journey.
The staff are so lovely and welcoming! Everything about the treatments is thoroughly explained to you, and the whole team is reassuring with each step. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist!
A really wonderful experience from start to finish. Courtnee was brilliant at finding the right time for an appointment, and Imogen and Alyson have been so helpful with our daughter. We felt listened to and are so glad you’re now in town!
