White Fillings Markham, ON

Greensborough Dental – your Markham dentist:
offers mercury-free white fillings

As your Markham dentist we recommend white fillings, as they are ideal for patients who are sensitive to metals and are concerned about the mercury content of an amalgam filling, or who simply want to preserve their naturally beautiful smile.

White fillings, or composite fillings, are made from a tooth-colored material that restores the natural appearance of a decayed or previously metal filled tooth cavity. Because white fillings blend perfectly with your tooth enamel, Dr. Riazi will often recommend them if the tooth in question is near the front of your mouth, but also for back teeth, as black fillings are gradually faded out.

A white filling typically requires only one dental visit, during which the tooth or teeth are prepared and restored with white tooth fillings. An advantage of white tooth fillings compared to other dental restorations, is that they need less of the healthy part of a tooth to be removed to hold the filling in position. This is due to the filling’s composite material being capable of bonding to the teeth more tightly.
