White Fillings & Amalgam Removal

White fillings

The material we use is a synthetic based on nano technology micro fillers to improve the aesthetics and final look and strength of the filling.
All-white fillings are lined and sealed to increase longevity.

White fillings can be used to replace amalgam fillings, to provide single veneers, cosmetic contouring (improve the shape) of a tooth, to cover exposed root surface, and aid in the treatment of cracked teeth.

White fillings are bonded to your tooth and typically last three to five years before they need repair.

Your dentist may advise you on an inlay/onlay if stronger and tooth coloured it acts where support is necessary for the posterior part of your mouth; particularly if you grind your teeth (Bruxism).
