White Fillings
More natural alternative to traditional silver fillings
We use composite resin to restore a variety of teeth related problems; cavities from tooth decay, replacement of traditional amalgam fillings, fractures and accidental chips can all be addressed in a way that will help to keep your smile looking bright and white!
Benefits of White Fillings
It is important to note that composite fillings may not be suitable for large cavities or molars, and may not be as durable as traditional metal fillings. Your dentist will be able to advise you on the best option for your specific case.
Aesthetics
Virtually invisible and more aesthetically pleasing than metal fillings.
Bonding
Composite fillings can be bonded directly to the tooth, which helps to strengthen the tooth.
Less tooth removal
Because composite fillings can be bonded to the tooth, less tooth structure needs to be removed compared to traditional metal fillings.
Why get white fillings?
White dental fillings (composite fillings) are an attractive option for many people due to their aesthetic appeal. The tooth-coloured composite material used to make white fillings blends in seamlessly with the natural colour of the tooth, making them virtually invisible. This is one of the main selling points of white fillings, as they can help to preserve the natural appearance of the tooth and improve the overall look of a person’s smile.
What are white dental fillings made of?
White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a tooth-colored resin material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth for a more aesthetic look.
Are white fillings better than silver (amalgam) fillings?
White fillings are a popular choice because they are mercury-free, blend naturally with your teeth, and bond directly to the tooth structure, providing added strength.
How long do white fillings last?
With proper care, white fillings can last 5-10 years or longer. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups can help extend their lifespan.
