What Is White Filling?
A white or composite filling is a dental restoration made from a tooth-coloured resin. This filling repairs teeth affected by decay, fractures, or minor damage. Unlike traditional silver amalgam white dental filling, white fillings blend seamlessly with the natural colour of the teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing result.
Why choose white fillings?
Opting for white fillings presents a compelling choice for dental restoration. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, white or composite fillings offer a discreet, natural-looking solution. Composed of a tooth-coloured resin material, these white tooth fillings seamlessly blend with the surrounding teeth, preserving the aesthetic integrity of the smile. Beyond their cosmetic appeal, white tooth filling provides a durable and effective remedy for addressing decay, fractures, or minor tooth damage. Their versatility and ability to bond directly to the tooth structure make them an increasingly popular choice for those seeking functional and aesthetically pleasing dental repairs.
How to Care for White Filling After the Procedure
Caring for your white filling post-procedure is essential to ensure its longevity and maintain optimal oral health. Initially, be cautious with hot or cold foods to allow the filling to set completely. Adopt a thorough oral hygiene routine, including regular brushing, flossing, and mouthwash, to prevent plaque buildup. Attend scheduled dental check-ups for professional cleanings and assess the filling's condition. Avoid biting down on complex objects or using your teeth for non-chewing activities. If you notice any discomfort, changes in bite, or unusual sensations, promptly consult your dentist. With proper care, your white filling can provide lasting functionality and seamlessly contribute to a healthy, vibrant smile.

Fantastic place! I went in for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with the way I was treated. Alice at the front desk is extremely friendly and really generous.
