White Fillings

If you have a cavity and you need a tooth filled, you may prefer white fillings to amalgam (silver) due to their tooth-coloured and natural-looking appearance.

What are white fillings made from?

White fillings are mercury free and made from a composite material of plastic and ceramic.

What are the advantages of white fillings?

• They blend in with natural teeth
• Cavity preparation is more conservative than for 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.
