White Dental Fillings
NATURAL LOOKING WHITE FILLINGS
Cavities are one of the most common dental conditions recorded. Although proper dental hygiene is a great way to prevent cavities, a few factors like genetics and age come into play. Fillings are a popular choice for correcting cavities and preventing further deterioration of a tooth. White fillings in particular are a preferred choice for some, and for good reason. Made out of composite dental resin, white dental fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a beautiful smile. They are safe, comfortable, and long-lasting solutions for people suffering from cavities. This type of filling can also be used on patients with a broken tooth to restore the tooth’s shape.

BENEFITS OF WHITE DENTAL FILLINGS
Amalgam fillings were the first choice for many dental patients because in previous years, they were made of stronger material than white fillings. However, with time, white fillings have only gotten better in quality and they are now one of the best ways to fill a cavity. While amalgam fillings are more popular, their metallic look is more noticeable and might not be the preferred choice for most patients. White dental fillings present a wide range of benefits including:
Quick and easy treatment
Blends in with your natural teeth
Affordable solution for a tooth cavity
Lowered risk of sensitivity
Completely safe
Stable & secure
