What are the benefits of White Fillings?

As dentists, our primary concern is to preserve your natural teeth. One of the most common treatments is dental fillings. Here are some of the ways this treatment can benefit you.
Durable
Composite resin can effectively bond to the tooth structure, providing a strong and durable restoration that withstands everyday wear and tear.
Less Tooth Removal
White fillings often require the removal of less healthy tooth structure compared to silver fillings, preserving more of the natural tooth.
Mercury-Free
White dental fillings do not contain mercury, eliminating concerns associated with mercury exposure and making them a safer choice for many patients.
Aesthetic
Composite fillings match the natural color of your teeth, making them virtually invisible and enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.

What are composite fillings?

These days, many people have dental fillings of one kind or another. A significant number prefer not to have silver fillings, which are visible when they smile or laugh. White dental fillings, made to match the natural color of your teeth, blend seamlessly with your mouth. Composite resin is used to fill cavities and restore the tooth’s normal function while providing protection.

White Fillings Or Traditional Amalgam?

White dental fillings are made of composite resin, a tooth-coloured material composed of a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. This material allows the fillings to blend seamlessly with the natural colour of your teeth.

Treatments are tailored to suit your individual needs and the cost of White Fillings will vary depending on a number of factors, such as number of teeth and other treatments which may be needed. View the full dental price guide here to see the cost of dental treatments.

With proper care and maintenance, white dental fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. Factors affecting their longevity include the location of the filling, your oral hygiene habits, and the amount of wear and tear from chewing.

White fillings are durable and strong, especially when used for small to medium-sized restorations. They bond directly to the tooth structure, providing added support. However, for very large restorations, silver amalgam fillings might still be considered more durable.
