Dental White Fillings

White Fillings Campbelltown

Prevent cavities and restore your smile naturally with modern white fillings.

White fillings are an excellent, contemporary solution for treating cavities and restoring damaged teeth. While traditional metal (amalgam) fillings were standard decades ago, modern dentistry has entirely transitioned to white fillings, also known as composite fillings, as the gold standard for restoration.

Composite fillings offer significant functional advantages because they chemically bond to the tooth structure. This technique, which our team at Bradbury Dental Surgery performs with expertise, requires less removal of healthy tooth material, providing superior, long-term support for your remaining tooth structure. Paired with their flawless aesthetic appeal, they are meticulously designed to match the natural colour of your teeth, seamlessly repairing decay without leaving visible silver or dark spots

White Fillings vs Composite Fillings: What's the Difference?

It's common for patients to hear two different terms: White Fillings and Composite Fillings. The good news is that both refer to the same modern dental restoration, but they describe different characteristics:

✅ White Fillings: is the term that refers to the aesthetic appeal. It describes the visual benefit: a filling that is colour-matched to your tooth, rendering the restoration virtually invisible.

✅ Composite Fillings: is the technical term that refers to the material composition. This material is a composite resin, a blend of plastic and fine glass particles that allows for both strength and custom colouring.

Essentially, when your dentist uses a Composite Filling, you get the benefit of a White Filling, a restoration that seamlessly blends with your natural smile.

Why Replace Old Amalgam Fillings?

Many patients choose to replace their old silver (amalgam) fillings with modern white fillings for both aesthetic and health benefits.

✅ Flawless Aesthetics: Amalgam fillings are visibly dark. Replacing them with tooth-coloured composite fillings seamlessly restores the natural look of your smile.

✅ Superior Tooth Support: Unlike metal, white fillings chemically bond directly to the tooth structure, actively supporting and strengthening the remaining tooth to reduce the risk of future fractures.

✅ Mercury-Free: For patients concerned about mercury content, composite fillings offer a completely mercury-free and stable alternative for restoration.

✅ Reduced Stress: Composites are more temperature-stable than metals, helping to prevent the expansion and contraction that can stress your tooth and cause sensitivity.

If you have old metal fillings that are fractured, leaking, or you simply wish to upgrade their appearance, our dentists can safely and efficiently replace them.

Benefits of Choosing Composite Fillings
