White, or composite fillings, are a cosmetic procedure used to fill and repair tooth cavities in just the same way as silver amalgam fillings. White fillings are also used to treat diastema - spaces or gaps between teeth. They’re designed to match the natural teeth around them to preserve the natural look of your smile. White fillings are mercury-free and require less drilling than amalgam, helping to preserve more of the natural tooth.

Benefits of white fillings
