FAQs

What are White Fillings?

White fillings, or composite fillings, as the name suggests, are tooth-colored dental restorations. They are routinely used to fix cavities, chips, and even for cosmetic purposes because of their ability to seamlessly blend with tooth color.

What is the difference between white fillings and silver (amalgam) fillings?

• Esthetics: White fillings come in different shades and can almost exactly match your tooth color, whereas silver fillings are metallic and very noticeable.
• Composition: White fillings consist of composite resin, whereas silver fillings contain metals such as mercury.
• Less cutting of tooth structure: White fillings are very conservative and require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to silver fillings.

How long do white fillings last?

With advancements in technology, new generations of white fillings are strong and durable and can be used on both front and back teeth. However, in saying that, longevity also depends on many factors such as oral hygiene and chewing habits.

Do white fillings change color over time?

White fillings may discolor slightly over time due to habits like smoking, drinking coffee, or consuming dark-colored foods. Regular check-ups and cleaning sessions can help you stay on top of that and maintain them.

How long does the procedure take?

Normally, it takes about 20–60 minutes per filling; however, that can vary based on the size and location of the decay.

Is the procedure painful?

No, the procedure is usually very comfortable. We will numb the tooth and the area properly with a local anesthetic before proceeding.

Can white fillings replace old silver fillings?

Yes! Many patients choose to replace their old silver fillings with new white fillings, mostly for aesthetic reasons or if the previous amalgam is breaking down. We can help you assess what is best for you and recommend a treatment plan.

How much do white fillings cost?

It varies depending on the size, location, and number of fillings required. The price for white fillings ranges from $220 to $400 per tooth. Your dentist will discuss the exact price with you before starting.

How should I care for my white fillings?

Normal oral hygiene usually takes care of your fillings unless some special precautions are given by your dentist based on your tooth condition.
• Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste. Use an electric toothbrush.
• Floss daily; a water flosser can be considered.
• Regular check-ups and hygiene appointments.

How do I know if I need a filling?

Common signs may include:
• Sensitivity to hot and cold.
• Visible holes or pits in your teeth.
• Pain or discomfort while eating or biting.
• Chipped or broken tooth.
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a dental check-up immediately.

Can white fillings prevent further decay?

Yes! By filling cavities early, we can stop the spread of decay further into the tooth. Regular dental visits and maintaining good oral hygiene are key to ensuring their longevity.
