White fillings are made from a tooth-coloured composite material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a more aesthetic and discreet solution to dental restoration.
Why choose white fillings?
White tooth filling are often preferred for their aesthetic benefits, as they don’t leave the dark, noticeable appearance of amalgam fillings. In addition to being more visually appealing, white fillings are bonded directly to the tooth, which can help support the long-term health and function of the tooth.
We will always discuss all your options with you when it comes to filling treatments. Many patients choose white fillings for a more subtle, natural finish, but in some cases, we may still recommend amalgam fillings based on your individual needs. If that’s the case, we’ll ensure you feel confident in your decision.
Can I replace my amalgam fillings with white tooth filling?
Yes, some patients opt to replace their old amalgam fillings with white fillings for both cosmetic and health reasons. We are happy to explore this option of cosmetic dentistry with you if you’re interested.
How long do white fillings last?
With proper care, white fillings can last anywhere from 7 to 10 years, depending on factors like oral hygiene and lifestyle.
