Fillings are important for the health of your teeth and shouldn’t be put off. However, it’s normal to feel like they will be obvious if they aren’t the same colour as your teeth.
With the availability of white fillings, fillings blend more closely in with your natural tooth colour, so in many cases it’s hard to tell that your teeth have had any work done at all. There is no discolouration and the filling isare here to stay.
What is a white filling?
White or ‘composite’ fillings are moulded to the exact shape of your tooth and set using a UV blue light. The filling is lifelike and, when properly cared for, long lasting, which makes them a top choice amongst our patients.
Having a filling treatment is important, as untreated tooth decay can get worse over time and lead to bigger problems that might require a more serious treatment such as a root canal.
Having the option to choose a white filling takes away any worry that your teeth won’t look their best again. You know that you are doing the best for your oral health by having your filling done, and you’ll be showing off your smile again in no time. Not to mention the elimination of any pain and irritation, while preventing the potential for future tooth decay!
