Composite comes in a wide range of shades, so that a filling can be accurately colour-matched to blend in perfectly with each individual tooth. At Cwmbran Dental Care, we use some of the most aesthetic white filling materials on the market.
To prevent decay forming around the composite filling, it is important to brush at least twice a day and attend for regular check-ups. Our hygienist can polish off any stains which build up on the fillings and restore the original lustre.
White composite fillings are now very popular with patients and dental professionals alike. They have far superior aesthetic qualities and comparable strength. White fillings are also completely mercury-free, an important consideration for many people.
Yes, if they suffer small chips or damage, it is easy to repair white fillings. In some cases, we may remove the entire filling and replace it, depending on each case.
Composite fillings set immediately, so you are able to eat as normal as soon as you have left the practice. As you may still be numb from the local anaesthetic, you may wish to wait a couple of hours, or chew on the other side of your mouth, but this is not a requirement.
