What is White Filling?

White fillings are an elegant option for repairing teeth that have sustained damage from decay. Cavity dental filling is a mix of plastic resin with finely powdered glass particles. The resin is used to enhance the look of the teeth or blend in with the color of the enamel. This kind of dental filling is a favored option for individuals wanting to preserve the visual charm of their smile while guaranteeing their teeth’s functionality. Unlike traditional filling that contain mercury, these fillings are safer as they do not contain such chemicals.

The Benefits of White Filling

Invisible

A white dental filling is used when a person wants to maintain an aesthetic appeal to their teeth. Since such a filling is invisible as it merges into the natural demeanor of the teeth, they are best suited for the front teeth.

Strong Bond

Composite resin bonds very vigorously with the structure of the tooth, offering excellent support and also ensuring that the tooth will not crack easily. This resilience provides enduring defense against further decay or harm.

Metal-Free

For patients who are trying to avoid metal dental treatments and are careful of their health, white fillings are the best as they do not contain mercury. They are relatively safer and also help with protecting the environment.

White Filling Treatment Process

  • Preparation
Dr Shah will start the process of white dental filling by first numbing all the areas around the affected tooth to reduce any chances of pain during the operation. Thereafter, with the help of specialized dental tools, she will remove any damaged or decayed parts of the tooth.
  • Application
The next step involves applying adhesive to the tooth to improve the ability to bond the tooth with adhesive resin. This dramatically increases the overall strength of the material. The composite resin is subsequently applied in layers into the cavity and shaped to fit seamlessly within the area.
  • Curing and Finishing
Every layer of resin is solidified with a special light that sets the substance in seconds. After the resin is fully set, Dr Shah will cut and polish the cavity dental filling until she is satisfied with the size and shape corresponding to your teeth.
