Restoring teeth with white fillings
White fillings, also known as composite fillings or tooth-coloured fillings, are dental restorations made from a composite resin material that closely matches the natural colour of your teeth.
These fillings are used to repair cavities, chips, or fractures in teeth, offering a more aesthetic alternative to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings.
Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth. This provides extra strength and support to the remaining tooth structure.

White Filling FAQs
White fillings are made from a composite resin, a blend of plastic and fine glass particles, designed to match the natural colour of your teeth for a seamless appearance.
White fillings are strong and durable, but they may not last as long as silver (amalgam) fillings in areas with heavy biting force. However, with proper care, they can last many years. All things considered, white fillings have become the best filling solution for most cases.
Unlike amalgam, white fillings are tooth-coloured and are custom-matched to blend with your natural teeth, making them nearly invisible.
Absolutely. White fillings can be used to replace old silver fillings for a more aesthetic, mercury-free option.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, white fillings can last 5 to 10 years or more, depending on their location in the mouth and how well they are maintained.
