White Fillings

An increasingly popular alternative to silver amalgam fillings are composite white fillings. Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings are virtually invisible and our team at Dental Annex in Thornlie can shade them according to the color of your teeth to create a perfect match, giving you a beautiful, white smile!

About White Fillings

Benefits of Composite White Fillings

Created to match your tooth to ensure a natural look and feel.

Provides support to remaining tooth structure, and insulates against temperature changes.

The material is made from acrylic and glass particles, containing no mercury or other metals.

Because composite fillings can be created in smaller preparations, less of your tooth structure is lost and less drilling is needed.

The Filling Process

First, the targeted tooth is prepared to remove decay.

Next, a bonding agent is applied to the prepared tooth.

The composite material is placed and molded to your tooth structure.

The material is hardened by focusing intense light rays on it for about a minute.

The filling is now complete and you have a bright, natural-looking new tooth!
