White fillings are different to silver fillings, as they stick to the teeth, enabling them to be used to repair teeth that have been chipped, broken or decayed. As a range of colours is available, the best possible colour-match will be provided so that they are as natural as possible, meaning you can laugh or smile with confidence.
The dentist will normally perform this treatment under a local anaesthetic in order to numb the area around the tooth. Any decay or old filling will then be removed if necessary before the filling is put in. To harden the filling, the dentist will point a bright light onto it, ensuring that your eyes are protected throughout the process. At the final stage of the treatment, the dentist will trim and polish the filling.
As white fillings come in a range of shades, the dentist will be able to provide the closest colour match to your own teeth. White fillings can also be used to reshape and rebuild teeth that are broken or have been worn down, due to the sticky material that is used. A tooth that is going to have a white filling requires less preparation compared to a silver filling. However, white fillings are not as strong as silver fillings, which means that they may not be suitable for large fillings in back teeth.
