Why choose a white tooth filling?

White fillings can be colour-matched to blend in with your natural teeth and practical choice for tooth restoration. These fillings are made from a dental resin composite. Compared to traditional metal amalgam fillings, white composite fillings have a number of advantages for patients. White fillings are:

• More discreet – tooth-coloured fillings are less visible in the mouth than black or metallic fillings
• 100% metal free – composite resin fillings don’t contain mercury or other potentially hazardous materials
• Less invasive- Less Drilling is required compared to other types of fillings.
• Less sensitive – unlike metal fillings that can conduct heat, white fillings, the resin insulates teeth from the hot and cold temperatures of the foods and drinks we consume daily.
• Your composite fillings can be repaired
