WHITE FILLINGS |
|
Fillings are important in protecting teeth that have been affected by tooth decay and cavities, but are you worried about how a silver filling will affect your smile? Fear not as our dentists have a solution for you!
Our St Catharines white fillings are formed from a white coloured resin and they’re designed to match the white colour of your own teeth. When we provide patients with white dental fillings they’re always satisfied with their strong, sealed, and colour matched tooth filling. Some of the advantages include but are not limited too:
White dental fillings can also be referred to as composite fillings. When you book an appointment with one of our experienced dentists, you’ll have to decide which type of filling material you want to have. There are both pros and cons between white (composite) fillings and silver (metallic alloy) fillings. Our specialists will walk through the key difference with you during your appointment. We generally recommend the white fillings and most patients like them because they’re cost effective and match your existing teeth colour. These fillings have been around for over 4 decades. They can be secured to your existing teeth to suit any size or irregular shape. Some people are concerned that their new white fillings will darken after some time, however, this does not happen with the resin material that we use. |
