White Fillings
White fillings or composite resin fillings are a popular treatment option for pediatric patients with cavities or decay. They are an excellent alternative to traditional metal fillings and are made of a tooth-colored material that blends seamlessly with natural teeth.
Who should get white fillings?
Children and teenagers with cavities or decay in their teeth can get these fillings. It is also recommended for patients who prefer tooth-colored fillings over traditional metal ones. Individuals with small to medium-sized cavities can also get white fillings.
