White Dental Fillings

Serving the Midwest City, Choctaw, and Harrah Areas

White dental fillings, also called composite fillings, are designed to match the color of your teeth. They're a popular option for front teeth, where a natural appearance is important, although they can also be used on back teeth if the dental filling there may be visible.

They can be used to restore a decayed tooth or repair a defect.

How are white dental fillings done?

• It takes only one visit
• First the decay is removed
• Then your cosmetic dentist etches the tooth surface with a very mild acid solution
• A bonding agent is then brushed onto the tooth
• The tooth-colored composite is applied in several thin layers
• The bonded composite is chemically hardened with a special light
• Finally, the whole tooth is polished

Advantages of white dental fillings

• Composite dental fillings are more aesthetically pleasing
• They don't fracture easily

White composite dental fillings are one of the many advantages of our present-day, more advanced dental technology.
