White Fillings
What Are White Fillings?
White fillings, also known as composite or tooth-colored fillings, are a modern dental treatment used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, which are made of a mix of metals, white fillings are made from a durable resin that closely matches the natural color of your teeth. At Caspian Dental & Orthodontics, our dentists expertly apply white fillings to repair cavities and restore the natural appearance of your smile. This treatment not only repairs the damage but also enhances the aesthetics of your teeth, making it an excellent choice for patients looking for a seamless, natural-looking solution.
Benefits of White Fillings
- White fillings offer a natural appearance and bond directly to the tooth structure, providing added strength and stability.
- This bonding process preserves more of your natural tooth, as less drilling is required compared to traditional fillings.
- White fillings are less sensitive to temperature changes, reducing discomfort from hot or cold foods and beverages.
- Being mercury-free, white fillings are a safer and more environmentally friendly option.
