About this treatment

White tooth fillings are used to fill tooth cavities caused by decay. White fillings are a more aesthetically pleasing, popular alternative to silver amalgam fillings. White fillings are natural in appearance and help to preserve the natural tooth for as long as possible. A composite resin material is used to fill the cavity which, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. We recommend regular dental check-ups so that your dentist can detect any dental cavities as early as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Teeth-colored fillings typically last 5 to 10 years, depending on factors like the size of the filling, your oral hygiene habits, and the location of the filling (molars, which endure more pressure, may wear down faster).
Teeth-colored fillings are strong and durable, but they may not be as long-lasting as metal (amalgam) fillings, especially for larger cavities or on back teeth that experience more chewing force. However, they offer better aesthetics and can bond directly to the tooth.
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures after getting teeth-colored fillings, but this typically subsides within a few days. If sensitivity persists, it's best to consult your dentist.
