White Fillings & Crowns
At Aston Clinic, we offer white fillings and dental crowns to restore and protect your teeth. Whether you need to fix a cavity, strengthen a weak tooth, or improve your smile, we provide long-lasting and natural-looking solutions.
White Fillings
White fillings repair teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or wear. Unlike silver fillings, white fillings bond directly to your tooth and blend in naturally. They work well for both front and back teeth.
When do you need white filling?
You may need a white filling if you have a cavity, a chipped or cracked tooth, worn-down teeth, an old silver filling that needs to be replaced, or minor discoloration that affects your smile.
Benefits
White fillings match your natural tooth color and require less drilling, which means more of your healthy tooth remains intact. They do not contain mercury or other metals and help to reduce sensitivity to hot and cold foods. They also bond securely to the tooth, strengthening it and preventing further damage.
How white fillings are placed?
The process is simple. First, we remove the damaged or decayed part of the tooth. Then, a bonding agent is applied to ensure the filling adheres properly. The filling material is carefully shaped to match your tooth’s natural structure. A special light is used to harden the filling, making it strong and durable. Finally, the filling is polished for a smooth, natural look.

Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that is placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used to protect weak teeth, repair broken teeth, and improve the overall look of your smile.
When do you need dental crown?
A crown may be needed if you have a large cavity or a fractured tooth that cannot be repaired with a filling, a tooth that has become weak after a root canal, excessive tooth wear from grinding or erosion, a dental implant that needs to be covered, or a misshapen or discolored tooth that affects your smile.
Types of Dental Crown
There are different types of crowns available. All-ceramic crowns are metal-free and look the most natural, making them ideal for front teeth. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are strong and durable, but over time they may develop a dark edge near the gum line. Gold crowns are very durable and are often used for back teeth where strength is a priority, although they are less common today.
How long do crowns last?
With good care, crowns can last 10 to 15 years or even longer. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will help keep them in great condition.
