White fillings fulfil the same function as traditional fillings and are used to help repair any teeth that have been damaged by a cavity or caries because of tooth decay. The only difference is in the appearance and material used – otherwise, the treatment is very similar to that of a traditional filling.
White or tooth-coloured fillings are usually made of a composite resin material.
White fillings provide a much more natural-looking finish to traditional metal amalgam fillings and can help create a more uniform smile. This in turn can help boost your confidence, and leave you feeling better about your teeth and smile.
