Update Your Smile With White Fillings From Your Dentist In Deltona

Dental fillings help restore the health of a tooth, reinforce its stability, and are the most common type of restorative dental treatment. They’re also practical, affordable, and relatively easy to care for once in place. Once only available in silver shades, fillings are also available in tooth-matching white shades and are gaining popularity as a result.

Made from a mixture of resin and glass, white fillings – also called composite fillings – are placed in a cavity and are hardened with UV light. Once they’re cured, these fillings look and feel just like natural teeth.

Depending on the extent of the filling required, it may take between 15 to 30 minutes to have a white filling applied.

It’s important to keep in mind that white fillings will retain their color once placed, so if your tooth has existing yellow or stained areas, your dentist may recommend whitening your teeth before the filling is applied.
