White fillings are used in the same way as traditional fillings and are designed to help repair a tooth that has been damaged due to decay, injury, or simple wear and tear. Used to fill in a cavity, white fillings offer a more aesthetically pleasing, and natural-looking finish than traditional amalgam fillings.
White fillings are a great choice for anyone in need of a filling – or in need of repairing or replacing a filling – who doesn’t want to compromise on the aesthetic impact of their smile. While some patients don’t mind the appearance of silver-appearing metal amalgam fillings, others find them distracting and unsightly. White fillings, which are tooth-coloured, and very natural looking can help restore a tooth to full function without anyone else knowing you’ve even received a filling.
White fillings are made of a composite material that can be shade-matched to your teeth and are then skilfully shaped and bonded into place by our team here at Desford Dental Care.
There are certain situations where traditional amalgam fillings are more suitable than white fillings, but for the most part, white fillings are just as successful at repairing and restoring a damaged tooth. In fact, because white fillings are bonded into place, they can help promote and preserve the natural tooth from damage that can sometimes be caused by amalgam fillings.
