About White Fillings

patient during dental appointmentWhite fillings, commonly known as composite fillings, are a popular option for restoring teeth affected by decay or damage. A filling replaces the part of the tooth that has been lost due to cavities or breakage.

Unlike traditional metal amalgam fillings, white fillings are made from a tooth-coloured composite material composed of glass particles suspended in a resin matrix. This material is available in several shades to perfectly match your natural tooth colour, making the filling virtually invisible.

Benefits of Composite Fillings

Composite fillings offer several advantages over traditional amalgam fillings:

  • Aesthetically pleasing, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth
  • Bonded directly to your tooth structure, providing additional support
  • Versatile for various cosmetic dental procedures, such as repairing chips, closing gaps, and reshaping teeth

When Are Composite Fillings Recommended?

While composite fillings are an excellent option for many situations, they may not be ideal for large cavities or if you have a heavy bite, grind, or clench your teeth. In such cases, our dentists may recommend an inlay or onlay, which provides more strength and durability.
