White Fillings

White Fillings at Atlantic Dental Center

Beautiful and Natural Smile

White fillings, also known as composite resin fillings, offer a modern and aesthetically pleasing solution for repairing decayed or damaged teeth. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, white fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, providing a discreet and natural-looking restoration.

Benefits of White Fillings

Natural Appearance

Composite resin fillings are matched to the shade of your teeth, making them virtually invisible.

Preservation of Tooth Structure

White fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings.

Strong and Durable

Composite resin is a durable material that can withstand the forces of chewing.

Bonding to Tooth Structure

White fillings bond directly to the tooth, allowing for more conservative preparation of the teeth and a long lasting restoration.

Mercury-Free

Composite resin fillings are a safe and mercury-free alternative to amalgam fillings.

A wide range of uses

Who can get white fillings?

White fillings are a versatile restorative option suitable for a wide range of dental needs. They are commonly used to repair cavities caused by tooth decay, effectively restoring the tooth’s structure and preventing further damage. Additionally, white fillings are an excellent choice for repairing chipped or fractured teeth, seamlessly blending with the natural tooth to restore its original appearance. They can also be used to close small gaps between teeth, creating a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile. Furthermore, for individuals seeking to replace old, unsightly amalgam fillings, white fillings offer a modern and mercury-free alternative, enhancing both the appearance and safety of the restored teeth.

What is the process?

Getting a white filling is a straightforward and comfortable procedure, designed to restore your tooth with minimal discomfort.

Numbing

The process begins with the administration of local anesthesia, ensuring the tooth and surrounding area are completely numb, guaranteeing a pain-free experience.

Prepare for Filling

Next, the decayed portion of the tooth is meticulously removed using specialized dental tools, preparing the tooth for the filling.

Color Match

The composite resin material, matched to your natural tooth color, is then applied in layers, with each layer hardened using a special curing light.

Shape and Polish

Finally, the filling is carefully shaped and polished to match the natural contours of your tooth, creating a smooth and seamless finish. This meticulous process ensures that the white filling not only restores the tooth's function but also blends seamlessly with your smile, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
