WHITE FILLINGS

White fillings, often referred to as “tooth-colored” fillings are one of the best ways to improve the health of your smile. This special composite material allows for less drilling and less removal of the original tooth structure prior to placing the filling. This material is bonded to the tooth creating a stronger tooth structure which is less likely to break. This beautiful alternative to silver fillings can be matched with the rest of your tooth color creating an “invisible” filling. White fillings are most often used to treat decayed, cracked, worn, or broken teeth. Replacing old silver fillings with white fillings can help you avoid the need for future dental work including crowns, root canals, and even extractions.
