White fillings used to restore the function of teeth that have dental decay, have been damaged by trauma and may be used as a cosmetic dentistry option for cosmetic bonding treatments. The Dental Team at Northland Smiles is pleased to offer white dental fillings, here in our NW Calgary Dental Practice.
Traditional dental filling materials, which are best known as silver fillings, are not always aesthetically pleasing options for restoring the function of your teeth. White filling materials have been used for over 20 years, and many patients prefer white fillings over silver fillings for many reasons. After we prepare your tooth, we will place the white filling material in thin layers, to rebuild the structure of your tooth. A special light is used to completely set the white filling material making it very hard and durable against normal biting forces. The tooth is shaped and polished for a smooth finish, and so it bites together correctly against the opposing teeth.
White fillings are also used to build-up damaged teeth prior to the dental crown, dental bridge, and many other restorative dental procedures.
The most obvious benefit of white fillings is the aesthetic results that we are able to achieve because of the ability to blend different shades of white filling material to match the natural remaining tooth structure.
White filling material bonds directly to the tooth remaining tooth structure, reducing the instance of breakage and to insulate the tooth from temperature changes.
We know that your smile is important to you and restoring damaged and decayed teeth with our White Fillings is one of the many dental health services that we offer at Northland Smiles.
