Our dentist and team is proud to offer white dental fillings, a modern and effective solution for restoring teeth affected by decay or damage. White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a popular choice for patients seeking a more natural-looking alternative to traditional metal fillings. These fillings not only blend seamlessly with your teeth but also strengthen and protect your smile.
Understanding White Fillings
White fillings are made from a tooth-colored composite resin that bonds to your tooth structure. They are an excellent option for repairing cavities, chipped teeth or for replacing old metal fillings. The composite material is versatile, durable and can be matched precisely to the color of your natural teeth, making it virtually invisible.
The Process of Getting White Fillings
The procedure for white fillings is straightforward and typically completed in one visit. First, the affected area of the tooth is prepared, and any decay is removed. The composite resin is then applied in layers, carefully shaped and hardened using a special light. Finally, the filling is polished to ensure a smooth and natural appearance.
Benefits of White Fillings
- Aesthetically pleasing as they match the color of your natural teeth
- Less invasive, preserving more of your natural tooth structure
- Strong and durable, providing long-lasting results
- Mercury-free, making them a safer alternative to amalgam fillings
- Suitable for both front and back teeth
