Frequently Asked Questions
What are white fillings?
White fillings are tooth-colored restorations made from composite resin. They are commonly used to repair teeth affected by cavities, minor fractures, wear, or other areas of damage.
How long do white fillings last?
Composite fillings can last for many years, but their lifespan varies depending on the filling’s size and location, your bite, oral hygiene, diet, and habits such as teeth grinding or clenching.
What are the benefits of white fillings?
Composite fillings can be matched to your natural tooth color and bond directly to tooth structure. This makes them an aesthetic restorative option for both visible and less noticeable areas of the mouth.
How are white fillings placed?
Dr. Sahar Moeini removes the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth, prepares the area, and places tooth-colored composite material in layers. The material is hardened, shaped, and polished to restore the tooth.
Do white fillings require special care?
White fillings generally require the same daily care as natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss regularly, and maintain routine dental exams and professional cleanings to help protect your restoration and surrounding teeth.
