White Fillings, which are also known as composite resins or porcelain inlays, allow teeth to be filled and rebuilt utilizing more aesthetically acceptable materials such as composite resin or porcelain. White fillings are now a very popular alternative to silver amalgam

White Fillings do not contain mercury and are an ideal choice for achieving long term strength in filled teeth. Teeth that are heavily filled with large silver amalgam or mercury fillings are at risk of fracturing because the tooth is spread apart by these traditional filling materials. These teeth can be rebuilt with porcelain inlays, which holds the tooth together as opposed to spreading it apart, preserving the remaining healthy tooth structure. This allows teeth to be safely and aesthetically restored achieving a more attractive smile. Tel: 028 9260 0870 or Tel: 028 9266 3185
