What are white fillings?
White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a resin material made of a plastic and glass mixture. They are white and will match your teeth which is great for cosmetic purposes.
How is it done?
This is a simple process where the dentist will first remove the decay from the tooth. Next, the tooth will be filled with the composite material and cured with our blue lights to form a tight bond. The dentist will then shape and polish your tooth to make it look and feel good as new.
What are the advantages of white fillings?
With white fillings, less tooth structure is removed than if silver fillings are used. White fillings also match your natural teeth so the fillings will not be noticed.
