White fillings

‍

White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are tooth-colored restorations used to repair cavities or minor fractures in teeth. Made from a mixture of resin and fine glass particles, they blend seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth, making them an ideal choice for visible areas like front teeth.

Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, white fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, providing additional strength and requiring less removal of healthy tooth material. This makes them a more conservative and aesthetic option. They are commonly used for filling cavities, repairing chipped teeth, reshaping teeth, or even closing small gaps.

The procedure involves removing decayed or damaged tooth material, applying the composite in layers, and hardening each layer with a special curing light. The filling is then shaped and polished to match the natural contours of the tooth.

White fillings are durable and can last many years with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. However, they may wear faster than metal fillings in large restorations or high-pressure areas like molars.

Overall, white fillings offer a functional, safe, and attractive solution for restoring teeth while preserving a natural, confident smile. They are a popular choice for patients who value both health and aesthetics.
