White Colored Fillings
White colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a popular choice for restoring decayed or damaged teeth. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, white colored fillings are made from a composite resin material that matches the natural color of your teeth, making them virtually invisible when you smile.
These fillings not only provide a more aesthetic solution but also bond directly to the tooth structure, offering additional strength and support. They are suitable for both front and back teeth and can be used to repair cavities, chips, and other minor dental issues.
Advantages of White Colored Fillings
White colored fillings offer several advantages over traditional fillings. They are less likely to cause tooth sensitivity, as they do not contain any metal. Additionally, the material used in white fillings can be shaped and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a more attractive and discreet result.
- Matches the color of your natural teeth
- Bonds directly to the tooth structure
- Provides a strong and durable restoration
- Less invasive and preserves more of the natural tooth
The process of getting a white colored filling involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth, cleaning the area, and then applying the composite resin in layers. Each layer is hardened using a special light, and once the filling is complete, it is shaped and polished to ensure a smooth and comfortable fit.
White colored fillings are a great option for those who want a natural-looking solution to cavities and other dental issues. They are durable, blend in with your teeth, and help maintain the overall health and appearance of your smile.
