What are White Fillings?
White fillings or composite fillings are a newer dental solution created to fix teeth that are decaying or broken without affecting the aesthetic look of the teeth. They are made from a resin that is colored like the natural tooth enamel so that it completely matches your original teeth. They become the best solution for patients. The Procedure: Fast, Comfortable, and Effective Having a white filling is a pain-free and easy process. First, the area is numbed, and then the damaged part of the tooth is removed and cleaned carefully by the dentist. Layers of the composite material are then put in, cured by a special light, and lastly shaped and polished to blend in with the natural shape of your tooth.
One of the largest benefits of white fillings is that they are so versatile. Not only can they be used to fill cavities, but they can also be used to fix chipped, broken, or worn-down teeth, making them a best choice for cosmetic procedures as well.
Long-Lasting Results with Proper Care
With proper oral hygiene and frequent dental visits, white fillings are long-lasting for many years. While they are not quite as strong as metal fillings in very large restorations, ongoing advancements in composite materials have made them much stronger and dependable.
To ensure your fillings are long-lasting, regular brushing and flossing, limiting sugary foods, and avoiding habits like nail-biting or hard object chewing are important. On your routine check-ups, our team at Trafalgar Family Dental will inspect your fillings and recommend any necessary maintenance.
