Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry is the term used for restoring health and function to a tooth or teeth. There are many ways we can resolve dental issues so that you can look forward to healthy and functioning teeth for a lifetime.
Filings, crowns, bridges, dentures, inlays and onlays are crafted to restore your teeth that are decayed, chipped, cracked, discoloured or missing.
White Filling
White filling is the application of a tooth-coloured adhesive composite resin to repair small to moderate tooth decay/tooth wear. Unlike veneers or dental inlay/onlay, which are customised and manufactured in a laboratory, white filing can be done in a single visit.
When to use it?
Most often, adhesive white filling is used for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of a discolored or chipped tooth or close spaces between teeth. It also can be used to fill cavities caused by tooth decay.
Key information
- White filling / Composite resin restoration is among the easiest and least expensive of cosmetic dental procedures.
- The composite resin can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth.
- White filling / Composite resin restoration usually lasts several years before it needs to be repaired or replaced.
