What are white fillings?

Otherwise known as composite fillings, this type of filling material is made of resin and glass and is matched to the color of your teeth, ensuring that they offer a natural-looking finish.

What are the benefits of white fillings?

In addition to being less noticeable, white fillings also bond directly to your teeth. This creates a stronger seal that can help to prevent further tooth decay. They are also biocompatible, meaning they will not cause any irritation or inflammation in the mouth.

White fillings are also less likely to crack or chip your teeth, and they can be used on both front and back teeth. In addition, they don't require that as much of your tooth be removed for placement as amalgam (silver) fillings do.

Is anyone a candidate for white fillings?

In general, any patient who is in need of a filling can have composite material placed. However, there are some cases where our dentist may recommend an amalgam (silver) filling or another type of restoration instead.

How do you care for teeth treated with a white filling?

You should care for these fillings the same way you would any other filling material - by practicing good oral hygiene habits at home and by coming in for regular checkups and cleanings.
