White fillings for front teeth gap?

[jimisalive702]

Hi,
I have a small gap in my front teeth that I would like filled. My dentist recommended white filling to be bonded to my teeth but unfortunately she is all booked up till the 12th of Oct and I would like to fill the gap next week because after that I start university.

Are you able to fill the gap with white filling? What would be the overall cost? I'm aware that white fillings have to be changed approx every five years but aside from that do you consider them an effective way to close a small gap? Finally, how close can you get the white filling to match the colour of my teeth?

Thank you!

Thank you for your question.

We are able to fill most tooth gaps with white fillings and they are very effective at closing gaps as they bond well to tooth tissue. They usually cost around £100 but the larger ones can cost upto £150 and we can do it whenever you want. We need to see your tooth to see how close we can get in colour but I usually do some test non-bonded white fillings to check colour suitability and which ever colour looks better is chosen.
