White Ceramic Fillings

White Ceramic fillings are proving far more popular than the traditional silver amalgam filling. Because many white fillings are classed as a cosmetic treatment, you can only have them done privately.

White fillings have always been considered less long lasting than silver amalgam fillings. But there are now new materials available with properties comparable to silver amalgam, and these are proving to be very successful.

The life expectancy of a white filling can depend greatly on where it is in your mouth and how heavily your teeth come together when you bite.
