Want a natural smile using white fillings? Over the years advances in modern technology has made it entirely possible to give you dental treatments using materials that seamlessly blend in with your natural teeth. At Wyndham Dental, we have a range of fillings available to ensure you get the best dental restorations.
White fillings, more commonly known as composite fillings, are used to restore a decayed tooth and allow it to function as usual. They take on the appearance of your tooth in order to blend well and work by plugging in any holes in the teeth caused by the cavity. Bonding strongly to your teeth, this is a highly compatible material that is minimally invasive and allows us to preserve more of your natural tooth. Composite fillings are usually recommended for dental restorations towards the front of your mouth.
How do you know if you have a cavity? This is a tricky question. Severe tooth decay might create a hole in the outer layer of your enamel or, at times, a cavity might cause pain and sensitivity but in most cases you won’t be able to figure it out until you go for a checkup. A visit to your dentist every 6 months will help you understand your dental health better and intercept tooth decay early.
The area of decay is removed and prepped for the filling
An adhesive is applied and several layers of the composite material

Once cured, the tooth will be polished
Enjoy a restored, healthy tooth!
