What Is a White Filling?

White cavity fillings, tooth-colored fillings, and composite resin fillings are all names for the high-strength, natural-looking fillings that can be placed today instead of silver (also known as amalgam fillings) or gold. No matter what the name, Hammond & Proctor Family Dentistry will know just what you’re talking about when referring to this natural-looking filling.

Strong and Natural Looking

White fillings are made from a high-strength composite resin that can be easily color-matched to your natural tooth making it nearly invisible to you and anyone else.

How do fillings work?

Unlike silver and gold fillings, composite tooth-colored fillings actually bond to the tooth which means they support the surrounding tooth structure, which helps to prevent breakage and insulate the tooth from excessive temperature changes. You are much less likely to have a white composite filling fall out.
