A white filling is a type of filling made from composite resin. Once upon a time, the only material used for fillings was metal amalgam. Patients now have a choice between amalgam fillings and discreet tooth-coloured composite fillings.
We offer Tooth Filling in Stevenage and can safely replace silver amalgam fillings with white tooth coloured composite fillings. Dental decay happens when the enamel and dentine of a tooth become softened by an acid attack, producing a cavity (hole).
