What are white fillings?

White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a tooth-coloured material that restores the natural appearance of a decayed or previously metal filled tooth cavity. A white dental filling typically requires only one dental visit, during which the tooth or teeth are prepared and restored with white tooth fillings.

What are the benefits of white fillings?

• They blend perfectly with your tooth enamel
• They restore the tooth back to its original shape and functionality
• They need less of the healthy part of a tooth to be removed to hold the filling in position
• They are ideal for patients who are sensitive to metals
• They are ideal for patients who are concerned about the mercury content of an amalgam filling
• They are ideal for patients who want to preserve their natural beautiful smile
