What is a white filling made of?
Composite dental resin. It is tooth-colored, so it blends in with your natural teeth. It can also rebuild the shape of a broken tooth.
How long do they last?
Most white fillings last 5 to 15 years. Like any filling, they don't last forever and will need replacing one day.
Fillings no one will notice
Cavities are one of the most common dental problems. Good daily care helps, but genetics and age play a part too. A white filling stops the decay and blends right in.
