White fillings, also known as tooth-coloured fillings, are made from a composite resin material that matches the natural colour of your teeth. This type of filling is popular for its aesthetic appeal and durability.
A composite filling is recommended when a cavity is detected during a dental examination. Our dentist will assess the tooth and recommend the best course of treatment, which may include a composite filling to prevent further decay.
Amalgam fillings are no longer our preferred choice due to their potential health risks. At A2Z Dental, we recommend composite fillings as an alternative for cavity treatment and tooth repair.
The lifespan of a white filling depends on various factors, including oral hygiene and diet. With proper care, composite fillings can last for many years, but regular check-ups are necessary to ensure their longevity.
The cost of a composite filling varies depending on the location and complexity of the procedure. On average, a composite filling can range from $200 to $500 per tooth, with some cases requiring more extensive work.
