Benefits of White Dental Fillings

Many of us think of fillings as being expensive and invasive. In reality, they can be affordable and comfortably placed. Thanks to white dental fillings, they can even blend in with the rest of your teeth so that no one even knows you had a cavity. Our Agoura Hills dentists recommend white dental fillings for patients who are concerned about the aesthetic appearance of their mouths. 

 

 

All about White Dental Fillings

 

These fillings are made of composite resin, which is a mixture of tooth-colored plastic and glass made to mimic the look of natural teeth. This filling is placed in layers on the decaying tooth, and each one is typically hardened with a special light. The filling is shaped to fit the tooth and polished to prevent staining and wear. 

 

 

Advantages of White Dental Fillings

 

Because these fillings are chemically bonded to the teeth, they provide durability and support. Little tooth removal is often needed in order to prepare for filling placement. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is the desirable cosmetic appearance of white dental fillings. The color of your filling can be selected to blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.
