White Fillings

White fillings serve the same purpose as conventional amalgam fillings but are designed to blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth. Crafted from tooth-coloured composite materials, white fillings can repair a tooth affected by decay or trauma to complete function while providing an attractive, natural appearance.

We can help determine whether white fillings are appropriate for your needs, but most patients select white fillings because they provide a far more cosmetically pleasing result. They should be virtually undetectable to others, and won’t leave you feeling awkward about your fillings when smiling or being photographed.

While there are certain situations where amalgam might be the most suitable choice for a patient, in most instances, white fillings are equally strong and capable of performing the same role as amalgam fillings. In fact, because white fillings are chemically bonded to the tooth structure, they can help safeguard and reinforce the natural tooth, protecting it against additional decay.
