They offer a more natural look than amalgam fillings and can last an average of five-ten years. This depends on your specific situation and can vary depending on how often you attend and how well they are looked after following placement.
White fillings are designed to blend with the natural colour of your teeth. As such, they are less visible and more aesthetically pleasing. Relatively affordable and durable, white fillings are a favourable way to repair cavities and restore your smile.
As with other types of filling, a local anaesthetic can be used during the procedure. This will numb the area around the tooth that is being filled so that the treatment doesn’t cause any pain. Any discomfort experienced after the procedure can be treated with over-the-counter painkillers.
White fillings are made of composite resins — a blend of glass and plastic particles. Unlike amalgam fillings, white fillings match the colour of your teeth, restoring a natural look to your smile. They are completely metal-free.
