Today, if you have you been diagnosed with a cavity, there are alternatives to amalgam available that are recommended by Milford Dentists, which are stronger, safer and also more durable. White fillings (also known as composite resin fillings or tooth coloured fillings), unlike those metal fillings of the past, are virtually invisible, long lasting and can be shaded by their dentists to match the colour of your teeth.

White composite resin fillings are Milford Dentists’ clinicians’ choice for repair and restoration of all teeth in any situation. So why do their dentists choose metal-free, composite synthetic resin fillings, and why should you? White or composite fillings from Milford Dentists are made of materials that actually bond to your tooth tissue from the inside, strengthening your teeth and providing additional support for up to a decade.

Because composite fillings can be created in smaller preparations, less of your tooth structure is lost and less drilling is also required. Once bonded, the composite filling will also not change shape over time, and wear the same as your tooth keeping your dental repair stable and secure.

Their composite fillings are bonded with adhesive to your tooth structure; the tooth is strengthened and protected against decay or bacterial invasion. White fillings as compared to amalgam, are not temperature-sensitive. White fillings are made from acrylic and glass particles, contain no toxic substances, and they can seal your tooth and stabilise its structure far more effectively than amalgam. 

As with most dental repairs, although the results are not permanent and eventually require replacement, composite resin fillings are very durable and can offer what Milford Dentists believe is a safer, stable more effective solution to the repair of teeth.
