White Fillings

Most people will require a filling at some point in their lives even with a good oral hygiene routine, whether to repair decay or a damaged tooth caused by an accident.

White fillings, also known as composite fillings, have revolutionised filling technology by providing a treatment option that can be colour matched to your teeth. This provides a natural looking, more aesthetically pleasing appearance to your restoration. The other key benefit of white fillings is they are easy to mould, providing an exact fit when used to fill a tooth or a natural looking shape when used to build up chipped or broken teeth.

Old silver amalgam fillings can now be easily replaced by white fillings in one tooth or multiple teeth with a custom inlay. Silver amalgam fillings can contract and expand with changes in temperature which may cause your teeth to fracture over time. Also, unlike silver amalgam fillings, white fillings contain no mercury.
