Natural-Looking White Dental Fillings
Restore strength and beauty to your smile with durable, mercury-free composite fillings.
A Discreet Solution for Cavities
Cavities are common, but modern dentistry offers a discreet solution. At Y2K Dentistry, we use tooth-colored composite fillings that restore your tooth while preserving the natural appearance of your smile.
Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, white fillings blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, providing both strength and aesthetics. They are durable, safe, and designed to protect your tooth structure for years to come.
A Modern Approach to Cavity Repair
White fillings are made from a composite resin material that bonds directly to your tooth. This bonding process strengthens the remaining tooth structure and requires less removal of healthy enamel compared to older metal fillings.
White fillings are used to:
- Repair cavities caused by decay
- Fix chipped or cracked teeth
- Replace old metal fillings
- Restore worn tooth surfaces
The result is a restoration that looks and feels natural.
Why Patients Prefer White Fillings
Many patients choose white fillings not only for health reasons but also for cosmetic improvement.
Simple, Comfortable Treatment
The affected area is gently numbed for comfort.
Decay or damaged tooth structure is carefully removed.
The composite material is applied in layers.
A special light hardens the material.
The filling is shaped and polished for a natural finish.
Most white filling appointments are completed in under an hour.
Replacing Old Silver Fillings
If you have older metal fillings that are worn, cracked, or noticeable when you smile, they can often be replaced with modern white composite materials.
Reasons patients choose replacement:
- Improve smile appearance
- Repair worn or leaking fillings
- Eliminate visible dark metal
- Upgrade to mercury-free materials
We evaluate each case carefully to ensure replacement is beneficial and appropriate.
