Instead of traditional amalgam fillings which are silver, we can use tooth-coloured material to create your fillings.
This makes them nearly invisible and does not detract from your smile.

What are white fillings made of?
We can make fillings white using either a type of plastic made from composite resin or dental porcelain. Porcelain is more durable, but both accurately mimic the colour of your natural tooth.
Is a white filling permanent?
The process of placing the filling in your tooth is meant to be a permanent solution to cavities or cosmetic makeovers. But the material will wear over time as you naturally use your teeth as intended. The depth of the cavity and the position of the affected tooth also determine the filling’s life expectancy.
