White filling, so-called composite filling is a mixture of tooth-coloured resin, glass, plastic and ceramic. This type of filling is used to repair cavities by using enamel and dentin bonding techniques. It is an alternative to silver fillings which are more durable and can withstand stronger forces. However, most people would prefer white fillings to restore and mimic the natural appearance of teeth that are damaged due to tooth decay or some injuries. It is because of its colour. White fillings are aesthetically better than silver fillings and most importantly they do not contain mercury.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Most people have fillings of one sort or another in their mouths.
Nowadays fillings can be natural looking. Many people are more conscious about the way they look, so they don’t want silver fillings that show when they laugh or smile.
Costs can vary quite a lot from dentist to dentist. They usually depend on the size and type of white filling used and the time it takes to complete the treatment. Costs may also vary from region to region, but your dental team will be able to give you an idea of the cost before you agree to treatment.
White fillings have always been considered less long-lasting than silver amalgam fillings. But there are now new materials available that are comparable to silver amalgam, and these are proving to be very successful. The life expectancy of a white filling can depend greatly on where it is in your mouth and how heavily your teeth come together when you bite. Your dental team can advise you on how long your fillings should last.
It is usually best to change fillings only when your dental team decide that an old filling needs replacing. If so, you can ask to have it replaced in a tooth-coloured material.
Some dentists prefer not to put white fillings in back teeth, as they are not always successful. One way around this would be to use crowns or inlays, but this can mean removing more of the tooth and can be more expensive.
This can vary, but they are mainly made of glass particles, synthetic resin and a setting ingredient. Your dental team should be able to give you more information about the particular material they use.
