Dental fillings are a common treatment procedure and many of us are likely to need one or more fillings over the course of a lifetime. As we consume food and drink, our teeth are constantly being attacked by bacteria which settles within the fissures as well as all around the outer part of a tooth.
The traditional method to protect the top part of a tooth is to use hard metal such as an alloy of mercury. This is known as an amalgam filling or silver filling which is still used today due to its strength and durability. However, they are very noticeable when talking or laughing and can affect a persons confidence.
Now you can opt for White fillings which can match the natural shade of your teeth. They are just as strong and long lasting and virtually undetectable. If you wish, you can also change your old amalgam fillings with new white filings which are an easy and an affordable way to enhance your smile.
White fillings are made of a composite resin which are safer to use than mercury and have the added benefit of matching the colour of your teeth.
