Dental decay happens when the enamel and dentine of a tooth become softened by acid attack, producing a cavity (hole). If you do have decay and need a filling then we recommend white fillings as a good solution that is both aesthetic and functional. With the availability of stronger, more durable white filling materials this is becoming a more viable treatment option for more and more restorations. We can now place white fillings in almost any tooth, the only dictating factor being the size of the filling.<\/p>\n

White fillings are created from a plastic and glass resin which is moulded to fit the contours of your tooth.<\/p>\n
With white fillings, less drilling is required to remove decay than you would need for a traditional metal filling and gives results that are natural-looking and hardly noticeable in the mouth.<\/p>\n
They can also be used as a cosmetic treatment to replace old amalgam fillings and brighten your smile.<\/p>\n
If you would like to consider having white fillings, you should discuss this with our dental team as there are different options available.<\/p>\n
