White Fillings
White Fillings are
widely used in good dental practices. These white
fillings which are also known as composite resins or
porcelain inlays, allow your teeth to be filled and
rebuilt utilising more aesthetically acceptable
materials such as white composite resin or white
porcelain.
The good thing about white fillings is that they do
not contain mercury and are an ideal choice for
achieving long term strength in filled teeth. Teeth
that are heavily filled with large silver amalgam or
mercury fillings are at risk of fracturing because the
tooth is spread apart by these traditional filling
materials.
These teeth can be rebuilt with porcelain inlays,
which holds the tooth together as opposed to spreading
it apart, preserving the remaining healthy tooth
structure.
This allows teeth to be safely and aesthetically
restored achieving a more attractive smile.
