White fillings have several advantages over traditional silver fillings. For many people, the subtle appearance of this type of filling is the first to come to mind. White fillings are far less noticeable than traditional fillings, which can significantly increase an individual’s confidence and self-esteem, especially in the case of fillings that are in highly visible locations.
Some other advantages of white fillings include:
- Strength and longevity that comes from attaching to the enamel.
- Ability to match the color to the rest of the tooth, which allows the filling to be even less noticeable
