White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are crafted from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. They are designed to match the natural colour of your teeth, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing solution for cavities and minor repairs.
Aesthetic Appeal: White fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them ideal for visible areas.
Tooth Preservation: The bonding process of composite fillings often requires the removal of less healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings.
Bonding Strength: White fillings chemically bond to the tooth structure, providing additional support and reducing the risk of breakage.
The dentist numbs the area and removes the decayed portion of the tooth.
A gel is applied to roughen the tooth surface, enhancing the bonding process.
The composite material is placed in layers, with each layer hardened using a special light.
Once the filling is in place, the dentist shapes it to fit the tooth and polishes it to prevent staining and wear.
With proper care, white fillings can last many years. However, they may not be as durable as amalgam fillings, especially in areas subject to heavy chewing forces. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the condition of your fillings.
While amalgam (silver) fillings are known for their strength and durability, they are more noticeable and may require the removal of more tooth structure. White fillings offer a more natural appearance and bond directly to the tooth, allowing for a more conservative treatment approach.
