Dental fillings are commonly used to treat tooth decay and to restore teeth that are worn, chipped, or damaged. If you think you may need a filling, a dental examination is required to assess the affected tooth and determine the most appropriate treatment.
White resin fillings are a commonly used option for restoring teeth affected by decay or minor damage. They are designed to closely match the natural colour of the tooth, making them less noticeable than traditional metal fillings.
White fillings may also be used to replace older silver fillings, repair small fractures, close minor gaps, or improve the shape of a tooth where clinically appropriate.
Your dentist will assess whether white resin fillings are suitable based on the location of the tooth, the extent of damage, and your overall oral health. The procedure is typically completed in a single appointment, and with proper care, white fillings can last for many years.
