Maintain Your Smiling Confidence With White Fillings

At Bloor Dental Clinic in Toronto, we know that white (or composite) fillings can help patients not only protect and restore a tooth that’s experienced decay, but they can also help patients maintain their smiling, speaking, and laughing confidence.

What are white fillings made from and how can they benefit my smile?

Made from a durable, tooth-colored composite resin, white fillings provide a virtually invisible way to restore teeth that have experienced decay and to match the existing colour of your teeth, maintaining your natural-looking smile. This type of filling is also designed to bond with tooth structure and can help reinforce weakened teeth for long-term protection.

Who is a good candidate for white fillings?

Patients who have one or more teeth with mild to moderate decay are typically good candidates for white fillings. If the decay is extensive and a larger filling is needed, an amalgam filling or an inlay or onlay may be recommended. Rest assured that our dental experts will assess your unique situation and make recommendations based on your needs.

How long do white fillings typically last and how should they be cared for?

White fillings are designed for long-term protection and typically last five to seven years or even longer when cared for diligently. It is important that you brush your teeth twice daily, floss regularly, and visit our office every six months for a checkup and cleaning.
