White Fillings

White fillings are made from composite resin that matches your tooth shade

They are beneficial both for patients with decay that requires treatment and for patients who might want to swap out a metal filling with a discreet equivalent.

Introducing you to White Fillings

Treatment objective: To address dental decay/to replace silver fillings.

Duration of results: 3-7 years.

Process: Decay removed + tooth sealed using composite resin matching tooth.

Treatment Steps

1. Examination. Your dentist will examine how affected your tooth is by decay to determine if a white filling is sufficient for protecting it in the future. Once they are satisfied that a more substantial treatment such as a crown or inlay is not needed, treatment with a white filling can take place.
2. Cleaning your tooth. The decay is removed from the tooth and sealed.
3. Your white tooth-coloured filling. Your filling is created using a composite resin substance that will endure the chewing and biting forces your teeth employ every single day. This will be a carefully selected, white-coloured resin that matches the shade of your tooth.

Life Benefits

• Smile with confidence as your filling will be completely invisible to others.
• Natural-looking results.
• Peace of mind that decay is no longer compromising your tooth’s wellbeing and function.
• Gives the option of replacing metal amalgam fillings with a discreet alternative.
