At tooth, you’ll always be treated with the most modern, safe and aesthetic materials available, which means when it comes to fillings, we only offer white, tooth-coloured fillings. We don’t place amalgam (silver) fillings, and there are several good reasons for this choice.
In this article, I’ll explain what amalgam is, why it’s being phased out or banned in many parts of the world, and why white composite fillings are often the better option for your smile.
Many patients feel a little surprised when they’re told they need a filling, especially if they aren’t in pain. But, fillings are one of the most effective ways to stop tooth decay from getting worse and to protect your tooth for the long term. In this blog, I’ll explain what tooth decay is, what causes it, what a filling actually does, and why modern tooth-coloured fillings (known as white fillings) are a great option.
