White Fillings
At Hawthorne Dental & Braces, we offer white fillings to restore cavities and damaged teeth with a natural-looking finish. These tooth-colored restorations blend seamlessly with your smile while providing strength and long-term durability. These fillings provide a natural-looking alternative to silver fillings.
What Are White Fillings?
White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a tooth-colored resin material used to repair cavities, chips, and minor tooth damage. They are designed to match the natural shade of your teeth for a more aesthetic result compared to traditional metal fillings.
When Are White Fillings Needed?
White fillings are commonly used to treat:
- Cavities caused by tooth decay
- Small chips or cracks in teeth
- Worn areas of enamel
- Replacement of old metal fillings
They provide a conservative way to restore and protect your teeth.
Benefits of White Fillings
White fillings offer both functional and cosmetic advantages:
- Natural appearance that blends with your teeth
- Strong and durable material
- Bonds directly to the tooth for added support
- Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure
- Mercury-free alternative to metal fillings
The Filling Procedure
The procedure begins with removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth. The area is then cleaned and prepared before the composite material is applied in layers. Each layer is hardened and shaped to match your natural tooth, ensuring a comfortable and precise fit.
How Long Do White Fillings Last?
With proper care, white fillings can last many years. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental checkups helps extend their lifespan and keep your teeth healthy.
