White Fillings At Homerton Dental Care
Smile Restoration Without Compromise
Homerton Dental Care is pleased to offer white fillings as a great alternative to traditional amalgam fillings, otherwise known as silver fillings.
White fillings can be used to repair a dental cavity to strengthen the tooth, and maintain the aesthetics of the smile.
If you have a cavity in a more visible tooth, or you simply want to keep your smile looking natural, a white filling could be a really good option for you.
Why Are White Fillings Used?
A filling is used when a cavity requires a repair to maintain the integrity of the tooth.
To do this your Homerton Dental Care dentist will apply local anaesthetic, then remove the decayed parts of the tooth and fill the gap. The filling material is then shaped and hardened. The result is a repaired tooth that remains strong, functional and as close to your natural teeth in appearance as possible.
Why Opt For A White Filling?
Amalgam fillings have been used for a very long time in dentistry. They effectively repair a decayed tooth safely, helping you to keep your natural teeth for longer.
We also offer white fillings so that you have a choice when it comes to the way your smile looks.
When there is a good colour match with a white filling a person would have to look really hard to know that there had been any dental restoration. This is particularly important when you require a filing in a tooth closer to the front of the mouth.
Amalgam could be considered unsightly if applied to the social teeth that we use to smile, which is why many patients opt for white fillings with restorations towards the front of the mouth.
White fillings are also a lot stronger than they used to be, so they can last for many years with good maintenance. There’s no need to compromise on the quality of a restoration for aesthetics anymore; you can now have a strong, attractive dental restoration that is also very durable.
Key White Filling Advantages:
- Colour blends in with surrounding teeth
- Strong and durable
- Perfect for fillings on highly visible teeth
- Preserves the natural tooth underneath
- Lasts a long time with good oral hygiene
