A white or ‘tooth coloured’ filling is an aesthetic alternative to amalgam (silver) fillings. At Rose Dental we offer the latest technology in order to preserve more of your natural tooth. A white filling can maintain more of your tooth structure as it is bonded directly to the natural tooth.

Like all fillings, a white filling helps to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay, strengthening it and protecting it from deteriorating further. Once any decay or existing fillings are removed, the tooth in question must be kept very dry. To ensure good adhesion and maximum longevity, your tooth will be etched and coated with a bonding solution. When ready, the white filling material will be placed into the tooth cavity, moulded and cured with a light.

A white filling has the added benefit of being unseen in the mouth as we can match the filling to the shade of the tooth making the treatment invisible yet effective.
