White Fillings

White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a popular dental treatment used to repair cavities or defects in teeth. 

These fillings are tooth-coloured, allowing them to blend seamlessly with the natural tooth structure. They offer a strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings.

White fillings are not only effective for restoring decayed teeth but also for repairing chips, cracks, or worn teeth, providing both functionality and a natural appearance.

The White Filling Procedure:

During your white filling, our experienced dental team will guide you through the following steps:

1. Consultation and Examination

We will begin with a thorough examination of your teeth and discuss your cosmetic goals. This initial step allows us to determine if composite fillings are the right treatment option for you.

2. Shade Selection

We will carefully select a composite resin shade that closely matches the color of your natural teeth, ensuring seamless integration and a natural-looking result.

3. Composite Application

In cases where tooth preparation is not required, the composite resin material will be directly applied to the tooth surface. Depending on the tooth, some preparation, removal of decay, and anaesthetic procedures may be required. Our skilled dentist will skillfully sculpt and shape the composite to achieve the desired form and symmetry. Special attention will be given to color blending, translucency, and texture to ensure a flawless result.

4. Bonding and Curing

Once the composite is in place, it will be bonded securely to your tooth using a specialized curing light. This process helps the composite resin harden and ensures its durability and longevity.

5. Finishing Touches

After the filling process, any necessary adjustments will be made to perfect the shape and contour of your newly enhanced tooth. The bonded area will be polished to a high shine, seamlessly blending with your natural teeth.
