White fillings

Dental composite fillings are a popular choice for fillings because the material can match the shade, translucency and even the texture of your own natural teeth and provides a much better result than old amalgam (silver) fillings, which can be unsightly when you smile. Even if you already have silver filings most can be replaced with a white filling which improves aesthetics greatly . Oh and they are mercury free if you are worried about that sort of thing.

Composite can also be used to change the shape of otherwise healthy teeth. Unlike veneers, which often require some removal of tooth, in composite bonding cases, no healthy tooth substance removal  is required as the white filling material is added to the excising tooth.
