White Fillings

Problems associated with silver amalgam fillings

In the past, silver amalgam was the most common material for filling teeth, despite its numerous drawbacks:

• Unsightly
• Expands and contracts with heat and cool, which can lead to eventual fractures in teeth
• Can undergo corrosion
• Can leak over time giving teeth a grey appearance

The advantages of white fillings…

• Tooth-coloured so virtually invisible
• Durable
• Longlasting
• Strengthen Teeth
• Require less tooth structure removal, keeping teeth stronger
