White Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings are a safer and more attractive alternative to older silver amalgam fillings. By precisely matching tooth-colored composite fillings with the natural color of your teeth, a skilled cosmetic dentist is able to provide you with white fillings that are virtually invisible amongst the natural teeth. The removal of amalgam fillings can provide patients with tooth-colored fillings that provide a more pleasing, silver-free smile.

WHAT ARE WHITE FILLINGS?

White fillings are made of composite resin and serve to fill cavities just like silver amalgam fillings. However, they are matched to the color of your teeth and are virtually invisible. Tooth-colored fillings have become more popular over the years. As the availability of these fillings has increased and the possible dangers associated with amalgam fillings have been publicized, more and more patients are having their cavities filled with beautifully white, tooth-colored fillings.
