What Are White Composite Fillings
White composite fillings are made from a durable, tooth-colored resin that bonds directly to your tooth. Unlike traditional metal fillings, composite fillings match the color of your natural enamel, making them nearly invisible. They are a popular choice for patients seeking a discreet and aesthetically pleasing solution for cavities or minor tooth damage.
Benefits of White Composite Fillings
- Natural appearance matches the color of your teeth
- Durable and long-lasting for years of reliable wear
- Minimally invasive treatment preserves healthy tooth structure
- Mercury-free material provides a safer alternative to metal fillings
