Composite Restorations | White Fillings | Northern Ireland

White fillings or tooth coloured fillings provide a healthier more natural alternative to traditional silver or amalgam fillings.  They also allow for a minimally invasive restoration meaning more of your natural tooth can be preserved.

Advantages of White Fillings

• Since they bond to the tooth, Composite Fillings restore most of the original strength of the tooth.  Silver weakens the teeth, making them more susceptible to breaking.  Since broken teeth are very expensive to restore, Composites can save a lot of expense over the long run.
• Composite Fillings restore the natural appearance of the tooth.
• Teeth restored with white fillings are less sensitive to hot and cold than teeth restored with amalgam, if correct techniques are used.
• Composites are mercury-free.  Mercury in the fillings is viewed by some as being toxic.
• Composites require less removal of tooth structure.  Especially with new cavities, the size of the hole made for the filling can be dramatically smaller with composites.
