White or tooth coloured fillings provide a healthier more natural
alternative to traditional silver or amalgam fillings. They also allow
for a minimally invasive restoration meaning more of your natural
tooth can be preserved.
Are white fillings as good as silver fillings?
White fillings have always been considered less long lasting than silver amalgam fillings, however with the advanced materials
we use at Dental Care Marylebone, a white filling can often last as long as a silver filling. The life expectancy of a white filling
can depend greatly on where it is in your mouth and how heavily your teeth come together when you bite. Your
dentist can advise you on the life expectancy of your fillings.
Can I replace my silver fillings with white fillings?
It is usually best to change fillings only when your dentist
decides that an old filling needs replacing. If so you can ask
to have it replaced in a tooth-coloured material.
