White Fillings
Are you conscious of old silver fillings that show when you laugh or smile?
White fillings are the perfect solution for you. They are undetectable in your mouth, no-one will know you have them!
White fillings provide you with natural-looking and long-lasting results.
White Fillings (composite fillings). This is a newer, aesthetically more improved filling material that is tooth-coloured and can be matched with the patient’s tooth, therefore greatly improving the appearance of the tooth itself. Once the tooth is filled with this material, the filling will blend in with the natural tooth and it won’t be able to distinguish.
In addition to their aesthetic benefits, white fillings offer a range of health advantages. Made from a blend of plastic and glass particles, composite fillings are free from mercury, which is found in traditional amalgam fillings. While the health effects of mercury in dental fillings remain a topic of debate, many individuals opt for the mercury-free alternative both for peace of mind and environmental reasons.
Furthermore, the flexibility and adaptability of composite fillings allow for a more conservative approach to tooth preparation. Unlike amalgam fillings which need a specific shape cavity to hold them in place, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth. This means less drilling and more preservation of the natural tooth, reducing the risk of fractures and ensuring a healthier overall tooth structure. For patients seeking a modern, safe, and visually appealing dental solution, white fillings stand out as the clear choice.
