White Composite tooth-coloured and natural-looking fillings
What are white fillings made from?
White fillings are mercury-free and made from a composite material of plastic and ceramic. They are great to replace your existing metal amalgam fillings which are really noticeable and are a great way to make any fillings you have in your mouth, look natural and well hidden out of sight.
What are the advantages of white fillings?
- They blend in with natural teeth
- Cavity preparation is more conservative than an amalgam filling
- They bond directly to the tooth making it stronger
Can I replace my current fillings with white fillings?
If you already have amalgam fillings, it is possible to get them removed safely and replaced. Amalgam silver fillings contain mercury which may leak and cause other health issues. Composite white fillings are known to be the best in the industry and require less drilling of healthy tooth surfaces.
