The metal amalgam fillings are rarely used by dentists because of how many disadvantages there are. Our team here at Southern Cross Dental prefers to use white fillings, which are made of sturdy composite resin for a long-standing filling that fills cavities and helps with other imperfections of the tooth. White fillings match the exact shade of the tooth so it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb.
The composite resin of white fillings is first mixed to the right shade, and then molded over the tooth for whatever purpose it is serving. It dries quickly and with the right care, can last about 10-15 years.
Our patients here at Southern Cross Dental have found the following benefits by getting white fillings:
- They are made to match your natural tooth color.
- They do not contain toxic materials or mercury.
- White fillings don’t require enamel removal.
- They do not contract from temperature changes.
- It can solve other problems like gaps, discoloration or chips.
White fillings are used in our dental office as often as possible, providing these and other benefits to our patients.
