White fillings are done either directly in the mouth or for larger restorations done indirectly in the dental laboratory following an impression similar to when a crown is made.
The white fillings can be used to replace an old filling, reshape the tooth or repair a new cavity.
What will happen when I have a white filling?
Your dentist will prepare the tooth most conservatively. Since white fillings are bonded to the tooth, only minimal tooth reduction is needed to restore the tooth.
Your dentist will then select the best colour combination to match your tooth. The tooth will first be cleaned and primed. Then composite is bonded onto the tooth, often building it up in layers to create a natural, lifelike appearance. The tooth is then polished smooth, and you are ready to bite and use the tooth straight away!
