Composite Fillings

White fillings are a popular choice for their aesthetic appeal, as they blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth. They offer comparable strength and durability to amalgam, and are metal-free. Silver amalgam fillings are a lot more obvious in your mouth.

No, white fillings are designed to be invisible. We carefully match the composite material to the exact shade of your natural teeth, ensuring they blend in perfectly and won’t be noticeable when you speak, laugh, or smile.

If you have silver amalgam fillings and would like a more aesthetic alternative, we can change them for white composite. We remove the entire silver filling, clean your tooth and apply the composite to the tooth cavity for a natural looking repair.

Yes, a composite dental filling can be easily repaired if it becomes damaged. As the composite is applied in layers and can bond to itself, we can add more material to cover the damage to your filling. In some cases, we may opt to remove the whole filling and replace it, but this still can be achieved in a single appointment.

Caring for your white filling is just like caring for your natural teeth. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing twice daily to prevent decay, and ensure you attend your regular dental check-ups.
