Dental White Filling
White Fillings – Tooth-Coloured Restorations in Yarraville
At Yarraville Dental, we provide white fillings (composite dental restorations) to restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage. Our clinic serves Yarraville and surrounding areas, using modern materials and technology to provide safe, long-lasting dental care.
What Are White Fillings?
White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are tooth-coloured restorations designed to fill cavities or repair minor damage. They are commonly used for:
- Cavities caused by decay
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Replacing old metal fillings
These fillings are bonded to the tooth, helping maintain tooth structure while providing a natural appearance.
Types of Dental Fillings
Dental fillings restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage. Different types of fillings are available, and your dentist will advise on the most suitable option based on your dental needs.
Common Types of Dental Fillings
Composite Resin (White Fillings)
Tooth-coloured fillings that restore function and appearance. They can often be placed in a single visit and are suitable for both front and back teeth.
Amalgam (Silver/Mercury Fillings)
Strong and durable, commonly used for back teeth. Silver fillings are less noticeable in visible areas due to their colour.
Porcelain Fillings
Typically used when a stronger, long-lasting restoration is required. They are custom-made in a dental laboratory and offer improved strength.
Gold Fillings
Rarely used, but highly durable and long-lasting. These are usually reserved for specific clinical situations where strength and longevity are priorities.
