White Fillings

At dentics we try to provide our patients with white or tooth coloured fillings always. There is very little need in modern dentistry for amalgam or metal fillings.

We use the latest techniques for safe amalgam removal including the use of latex dam, and of course, we do not remove sound fillings that are not leaking.

White fillings, when done correctly, can look good and last as long as the older amalgam fillings. Tooth bonding with white resin fillings in many cases can be a very satisfactory alternative to caps or crowns. Techniques involving tooth bonding can be used to close up small gaps between front teeth and improve the appearance of slightly crooked or "peg" shaped front teeth.

As always, we are only too happy to offer a free consultation to show and explain the advantages of modern white fillings and the use of tooth bonding to improve your smile.
