What is white composite?
White composite fillings are a specially formulated dental composite made from plastic and other materials that replicate the color, texture, and feel of natural tooth enamel.

How does white composite compare to metal fillings?
Unlike metal fillings, white composite fillings expand to fill the tooth, preventing pockets where new decay can take hold. They fill the area completely, bonding to the tooth, and making a seamless, natural looking finish.

How long does the procedure take?
The procedure for white composite fillings is very similar to that for traditional metal amalgam fillings, and is completed in a single office visit.
