Today, more patients ask
their dentists about white fillings because they want
their teeth to look natural when they laugh, talk and
smile. White fillings, also called composite fillings,
are made from tooth-colored materials that restore the
natural appearance of a decayed or previously filled
tooth. Because they blend well with tooth enamel and
don’t look like fillings, your dentist may recommend
them if the teeth to be restored are near the front of
your mouth. Other types of white fillings include
composite inlays and porcelain inlays and onlays. Inlays
and onlays are used to restore teeth that are badly
damaged by decay or wear.
