White fillings at a glance
Composite resin, or white fillings are a popular treatment option for restoring a toothÎs function and integrity following decay. Aesthetically pleasing, white fillings can be colour-matched to your teeth and as such are virtually invisible in the mouth. White fillings make your teeth appear whiter and brighter and with improved strength over metal restorations to prevent further damage and decay.
Why do I need a filling?
Sometimes during a routine dental check-up your dentist will discover decay or a cavity. Dental decay occurs when the enamel and dentine of a tooth become softened by acid attack, producing a hole.
If the decay is not too serious, your dentist will restore the tooth with a filling. This is a straightforward procedure that can be carried out under local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort. Your dentist will go through your options before the treatment, including the option for white fillings.
