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.

What are the benefits of white fillings?

Getting white fillings at our dental office in Miami, FL, comes with several benefits:
  • The white fillings match the natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable.
  • They require less removal of tooth structure compared to traditional metal fillings, preserving more of the natural tooth.
  • These bond well to the tooth structure and provide excellent resistance to wear and tear.
  • Unlike metal fillings, white fillings do not contain mercury, which some patients may be allergic to or uncomfortable with.
  • With proper care and maintenance, the fillings can last for many years and prevent further decay.
