White fillings will protect your teeth from the damaging impact of decay, without having any adverse effect on your smile. In the past, patients were conscious about laughing and smiling with metal amalgam fillings but now, you can be proud of your smile and enjoy continued self-confidence with new tooth coloured fillings.

White fillings are just as strong and durable as traditional silver fillings. They made up of composite materials that include tiny glass particles, man-made resin and a setting component.
