White Fillings Treatment
White fillings blend with the natural colour of your teeth, making them a popular choice for repairing cavities without affecting your smile. They bond directly to the tooth, which helps keep more of your natural structure intact. The material is strong, durable and shaped to mimic the natural contours of your tooth for a smooth, comfortable finish.
They’re also a good option if you want to replace old metal fillings for a more discreet look. White fillings are suitable for most areas of the mouth and can be completed in a single visit. With proper care and regular checkups, they offer long-lasting protection while keeping your smile looking clean and natural.
