Composite fillings

Composite fillings tend to be used as an alternative to metal or silver amalgam fillings and are used to treat decay of a tooth or replace an old silver amalgam and to maintain a white smile.
Another type of ’white filling’ is called a Porcelain Inlay. These fillings are usually placed in back teeth when esthetics is of utmost concern in order to increase their strength and longevity they are fabricated in the laboratory and then bonded into position at the dentists.
