White Fillings (Composite Fillings): A Natural and Durable Solution for Tooth Restoration
White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a popular choice for restoring teeth with a material that closely resembles the natural colour and texture of tooth enamel. Unlike traditional metal amalgam fillings, composite fillings provide a more aesthetic solution, making them ideal for filling cavities in visible areas of the mouth. These tooth-coloured fillings can be customised to match the exact shade of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless, discreet restoration.
One of the main advantages of composite fillings is their ability to bond directly to the tooth structure. This bonding process not only enhances the strength of the tooth but also reinforces the surrounding enamel, adding to the durability of the restoration. This makes composite fillings a reliable choice for patients who want a long-lasting solution to tooth decay or damage.
Another benefit of composite fillings is that they require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to metal fillings. Since the composite material can be carefully shaped and moulded into the cavity, the dentist can place the filling with greater precision, allowing for a more conservative approach to tooth restoration. This is particularly advantageous for patients who want to preserve as much of their natural tooth as possible while still achieving an effective, aesthetically pleasing result.
At our dental practice, we prioritise the use of tooth-coloured fillings for all dental restorations whenever possible. This approach ensures that patients receive not only beautiful, natural-looking results but also the strength and functionality that modern composite materials provide. Composite fillings are suitable for treating cavities in both front and back teeth, offering a versatile and reliable solution for a variety of restorative needs.
Overall, white fillings offer a durable, natural-looking, and effective solution for restoring teeth affected by decay or damage. They are an excellent option for patients who seek a cosmetic, long-lasting filling that blends seamlessly with their natural teeth while improving both the appearance and strength of their smile.
