Composite Fillings -
Achieve Natural Beauty

Composite fillings are a popular choice for those looking to repair cavities or decay while maintaining a natural tooth appearance. Perfectly matched to your tooth colour, they enhance aesthetics without compromising durability.

These fillings are ideal for front teeth and visible areas and support a vibrant, healthy smile.

Porcelain Fillings -
The Premium Option

Porcelain fillings offer a superior aesthetic and durability that can rival your natural tooth enamel. These fillings are custom-made to fit your tooth perfectly and are resistant to staining, crafted to mimic the natural appearance of your teeth, making them ideal for long-term dental restoration. Porcelain fillings reflect light similarly to natural tooth enamel, giving you a bright and confident smile.

Ideal for back teeth that need a little more support and strength.

Concerned About Old Amalgam Fillings?

Amalgam fillings are known for their durability, but they can expand and contract over time. This can lead to asymptomatic cracks or fractures in the tooth, which can increase the risk of decay underneath the filling. Replacing amalgam fillings with composite or porcelain fillings can help reduce this risk.

Concerns about mercury exposure from these old silver fillings also highlight the need for their safe removal.

At re·dental clinic, we carefully remove your mercury amalgam fillings safely and efficiently, and replace them with advanced, biocompatible materials like composite or porcelain, we enhance both the aesthetics and health of your teeth. This not only prevents further decay but also strengthens your overall dental structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

The lifespan of white fillings can vary depending on the material used and your oral hygiene habits. Composite fillings typically last between 5 to 7 years, while porcelain fillings can last over 15 years with proper care.
- Composite Fillings: Made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles, composite fillings are directly applied and sculpted onto the teeth, which makes the procedure quick and minimally invasive. They are best suited for small to mid-sized restorations.
- Porcelain Fillings: Also known as inlays or onlays, porcelain fillings are custom-made in a dental lab and then bonded to the tooth. They are extremely durable, are more resistant to staining and can better match the natural appearance of your teeth compared to composites. Porcelain fillings are ideal for larger areas of decay or for teeth that need more structural support.
Yes, amalgam fillings, commonly known as silver fillings, can be safely removed and replaced with white fillings. Many patients choose to replace their amalgam fillings due to aesthetic preferences or concerns about the materials used in amalgam.
No, both porcelain and composite fillings do not respond to teeth whitening treatments. If you plan to whiten your teeth, it's advisable to do so before getting these fillings. This allows us to match the filling material to your newly whitened teeth for a consistent appearance.
Porcelain fillings generally require two dental visits. During the first visit, decay is removed, the tooth is prepared, and an impression is taken. The impression is sent to a dental lab where the filling is created. On the second visit, the filling is checked for fit and then bonded to the tooth.
Porcelain fillings created with digital impressions use advanced intraoral scanners to capture a precise 3D model of your teeth. This digital model replaces the traditional physical dental impressions, offering a more comfortable and accurate process for creating fillings that perfectly match the shape and colour of your natural teeth.
Yes, one significant advantage of using CAD/CAM technology combined with digital impressions is the ability to create and place porcelain fillings in a single day. After a digital scan of your mouth, the porcelain filling is designed and milled in the clinic, and then it is fitted when finished.
