What Are White Fillings Made Of?
Composite resin used for tooth-colored fillings is usually made of a mixture of plastic and glass (silicon dioxide). The plastic and glass components give the resin a rubber-like texture that enables it to suffuse with the structure of your teeth. When it is heated, it hardens into a texture like enamel, substance, and color.
Are White Fillings Better Than Silver Fillings?
Amalgam fillings (silver fillings) were among the only options for restoring damaged teeth for many years. However, white fillings are an outstanding choice for several reasons, including:
- Color: White fillings blend in with your teeth and silver fillings stand out.
- Comfort: White fillings are more comfortable than silver fillings. This is because they bond directly to your teeth, unlike silver fillings that require a separating agent. This means less of the silver filling will rub against your tooth, causing discomfort.
- Aesthetics: White fillings have a more natural appearance than silver fillings.
