White Fillings
Natural looking restorations placed directly into decayed or broken teeth
White fillings provide a great aesthetic alternative to dental amalgams
What are white fillings?
Teeth damaged by decay, or breakage work can be restored to their former natural beauty. Combinations of modern tooth coloured materials can be strongly bonded to the remaining tooth structure and are available in a wide range of subtly different shades, tones and translucencies. These can be customised to match your existing teeth, or designed from scratch to improve your appearance and smile.
Replacement of Amalgams
Old discoloured or silver fillings can be removed and replaced with modern composite materials. Not only are these materials beautiful in the way they react with light like natural teeth, but they strengthen remaining tooth structure allowing preservation of damaged teeth.
FAQs
How long do white fillings last?
Normally a white filling can last from 10 – 20 years. However particularly weak teeth, or patients who experience a lot of decay, may find they fail more quickly.
How are white fillings fixed in?
White fillings are bonded to your teeth using special dental adhesives that are both strong and biocompatible.
