White Fillings: Restoring Your Teeth with a Natural Look

What are White Fillings?

White fillings, also known as composite or tooth-colored fillings, are a type of dental filling used to restore decayed or damaged teeth. They are made of a composite resin material that is matched to the color of your natural teeth, creating a natural-looking appearance.

The White Filling Procedure

The white filling procedure typically involves the following steps:

• Step 1: Examination and Diagnosis: Your dentist will examine your mouth, take x-rays and assess your symptoms to determine if you require a white filling.
• Step 2: Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area and ensure your comfort during the procedure.
• Step 3: Removal of Decay: The damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is removed, leaving a clean surface for the filling material.
• Step 4: Placement of Filling: The composite resin material is placed in layers on the prepared tooth surface, and each layer is cured with a special light to harden the material.
• Step 5: Shaping and Polishing: The filling is shaped and polished to match the natural contour and appearance of your teeth.

Caring for Your White Fillings

Proper care is essential to maintain the longevity and optimal performance of your white fillings. It includes regular cleaning, avoiding hard or sticky foods, and scheduling regular check-ups with your dentist.

Benefits of White Fillings

• Natural Appearance: White fillings are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, providing a natural-looking smile.
• Preservation of Tooth Structure: White fillings require less removal of tooth structure than traditional metal fillings, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: With proper care, white fillings can last for many years and provide a durable solution to dental decay or damage.
• Non-Toxic: White fillings are free of mercury and other toxic materials commonly found in traditional metal fillings.
