White fillings

What is it?

White fillings can also be called dental composite and they are the tooth-coloured resins used to fill cavities. This composite resin is made of a blend of plastics and fillers such as silica and dimethylglyoxime which bond with the tooth's surface.

Who it’s for:

White dental fillings (composite resin) are suitable for a wide range of patients looking for a natural-looking, durable, and metal-free solution to dental issues. They are generally considered the standard choice for restoring both front and back teeth, provided the decay or damage is not too extensive.

How the procedure works:

White fillings, also known as composite or tooth-colored fillings, are a dental restoration procedure used to repair cavities, cracks, or broken teeth using a material that matches the natural tooth color. The procedure is generally quick, painless, and completed in one visit, usually lasting about an hour.

Comfort and safety

White fillings (composite resin) are a popular, safe, and modern alternative to traditional metal amalgam fillings, offering a more natural, tooth-coloured appearance. They are designed to improve patient comfort through less intensive procedures and better insulation against temperature sensitivity. 

Frequently asked questions
