What Makes White Fillings a Better Choice?

White fillings, also called tooth-colored or composite fillings, are made from durable resin materials designed to match the natural shade of your teeth. They offer a more aesthetic and discreet alternative to old silver (amalgam) fillings, blending seamlessly with your smile. Unlike metal, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure in layers, helping to strengthen the tooth and provide better protection against decay. Although slightly more expensive than traditional fillings, many patients prefer them for their natural appearance and reliable performance.

FAQ

Tooth-colored fillings are made of strong resins designed to mimic the natural material of teeth for superior strength and durability. Unlike old amalgam fillings that appear dark against your natural teeth, making restorations obvious, these resins can be tinted to match the color of the surrounding teeth for natural-looking repairs that are undetectable to others.

No; in order to bond properly and to make sure no additional decay has formed beneath or around metal amalgam fillings, the old filling will need to be removed. Once the filling is removed, the new filling material will be better able to bond with the tooth surface, creating a shield against bacteria and decay.

Yes; unlike metal fillings that rest on top of the tooth’s surface, composite fillings use a special approach that’s designed to mimic the way teeth are “built.” Composite fillings are built up in layers, beginning with a sealer to protect the tooth and to form a better bond with the layers of composite that follow. Because they form a seamless bond with the tooth surface, they can provide superior protection against decay.

Yes, white fillings tend to be more costly than amalgam fillings, but most patients find the extra cost worth the ability to have stronger fillings that look like their natural teeth. Our office staff can work with your insurer to determine what out-of-pocket costs you may have, and we can also help patients set up financial payment plans so they can fit the cost of are into their budgets.

Yes. Composite resin fillings are safe, non-toxic, and mercury-free, making them a great option for patients concerned about health and appearance.

With good oral hygiene, composite fillings can last 7–10 years or longer. Their longevity depends on the size of the filling, bite force in the area, and how well you maintain your oral health.
