White fillings perform the same function as traditional fillings but are made with a more subtle-appearing material that can blend in almost seamlessly with the rest of the smile. Designed to restore and repair a damaged tooth, they can also be used to replace older amalgam fillings.
White fillings are usually made of a composite material that can be shade-matched to your natural surrounding teeth, and shaped to fit in with the tooth exactly.
White fillings offer a more natural looking alternative to traditional amalgam fillings. They can help enhance and improve a smile, producing a more aesthetically pleasing finish, and they are also mercury-free, which many patients prefer for health reasons. At Diamond Dental Care, we can offer white fillings as your first choice, or as a replacement for your current amalgam fillings.
The process of receiving a white filling is similar to that of a traditional filling, and can normally be achieved in just one appointment. The material is bonded to the tooth, however, which can help strengthen and protect the tooth well into the future, rather than weakening it as amalgam fillings have been known to do.
