Our tooth-coloured ‘white’ composite resin fillings tick both of these boxes, protecting and rescuing decayed and damaged teeth.
White Fillings: Fast Facts
Examination: white fillings are well-suited to minor decay and damage. We will proceed with treatment, unless the damage is more extensive, in which case a crown or onlay might be more appropriate.
Filling: your dentist will meticulously remove the decay, making sure none is left behind. The tooth is then sealed, and the filling material is placed within the tooth.
As metals are good conductors of heat and electricity therefore one of the major drawbacks of amalgam fillings is that they don’t withstand the temperature changes in your mouth very well when you eat or drink something particularly hot or cold. In contrast, the composite resin white fillings are temperature-resistant and can tolerate temperature extremes of hot and cold food items making your filling less likely to crack in these scenarios.
White fillings are tooth-coloured fillings, which is the most frustrating aspect of silver fillings. White fillings remove the self-consciousness that comes about because of having a big chunk of silver metal in your mouth. The relief and self-confidence this kind of treatment can bring in day-to-day life is invaluable.
We believe that all dental treatment should be elective, and we will never put pressure on our patients to go through with treatment. It’s our role to educate you as effectively as we can, to enable you to confidently make an informed decision about choosing a particular treatment, such as a white filling.
We use digital resources to highlight and educate the risks of leaving your tooth untreated, and the benefits of any given treatment will bring. Our dentists are excellent verbal communicators who will give you the complete picture concerning the condition and wellbeing of your smile and mouth, each time you come in and see us.
