Why should I consider white fillings?
Most people have fillings of one sort
or another in their mouths. Nowadays fillings are not only functional, but
can be natural looking as well. Many people don’t want silver fillings
that show when they laugh or smile because they are more conscious about
the way they look.
Are white fillings as good as silver amalgam fillings?
White fillings have
always been considered less long lasting than silver amalgam fillings. But
there are now new materials available with properties comparable to silver
amalgam, and these are proving to be very successful. The life expectancy
of a white filling can depend greatly on where it is in your mouth and how
heavily your teeth come together when you bite. Your dentist can advise you
on the life expectancy of your fillings.
