White 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.
Amalgam fillings have long been the trusted solution for repairing decay damaged teeth and most people have at least one or two of them. However, they are very dark in colour and show up when you smile or laugh. This is not ideal for your smile aesthetic and so it makes sense to consider alternatives where possible.
In the case of a dental filling, advances in technology now mean that your filling can be completed with the latest cosmetic materials that not only blend in perfectly with your existing teeth but are strong and durable too.
Please ask your dentist about the latest options for cosmetic, near-invisible fillings at Westdale Dental.
