Made of Composite resin; white fillings are a safe alternative to Amalgam (mercury) fillings. Early versions were not as durable as Amalgam fillings, but that has now changed, we have been doing white fillings for over ten years and the latest studies reflect what we have known for years; white fillings when done properly are durable and a great replacement for amalgam. When white fillings dont last as they should then its its not the material but the dentist placing them that needs questioning.

Price indication: $130-$180 single surface, $180 - $240 for two surface, $200 - $325 for three surface, $210-$350 for four surface and $300-$500 for full tooth. Often dentists will discount the cost of a filling up to 30% when doing multiple fillings in one appointment.

N.B. We prefer to sit on the fence when it comes to the Amalgam (mercury) fillings controversy; studies have never proven that they are doing us damage, but here is so much that we dont know about the human body.

However as we have found no advantage to doing amalgam fillings as the white fllings are now so good (when placed properly), we very rarely do them
