At Wagin Dental, we understand the impact that cavities and dental damage can have on your oral health and confidence. Our dedicated team is committed to providing effective solutions through the use of white fillings. Whether your teeth have been affected by decay, injury, or other factors, our white fillings are meticulously designed to restore both the strength and natural appearance of your teeth. White fillings offer several advantages beyond their aesthetic appeal. They are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, ensuring a discreet restoration that enhances your smile. Beyond appearance, these fillings are also effective in preventing further infection and deterioration of the affected teeth. This proactive approach not only preserves your dental health but also promotes long-term oral wellness.
White fillings are recommended for repairing teeth damaged by decay, injury, or disease, and for protecting teeth and gums from additional damage. You might benefit from white fillings if:
Your teeth are worn or damaged
You have cavities due to tooth decay
You are replacing old amalgam fillings
You are undergoing other dental procedures such as a root canal.
White dental fillings, made from porcelain or composite resin, blend seamlessly with natural teeth, enhancing your smile’s aesthetics. In addition to their natural appearance, white fillings offer the following advantages:
They are safer than amalgam fillings, which contain mercury.
Porcelain fillings are highly durable, making them suitable for larger cavities, and are custom-made to fit your tooth precisely.
Composite resin fillings are more affordable, ideal for smaller cavities and repairing chips, and can be applied directly in layers during the dental visit.
At Wagin Dental, we can replace old amalgam fillings with porcelain or resin fillings to improve both appearance and safety. Whether you choose porcelain or composite resin, our dentists ensure that your fillings are crafted to restore your teeth’s function and appearance effectively.To learn more about white fillings or schedule a consultation, contact Wagin Dental today.

During your consultation at Wagin Dental, our dentists begin the white fillings procedure with a comprehensive oral examination to assess the extent of tooth damage and determine the number of fillings required. Based on your specific needs and preferences, we discuss whether porcelain or composite resin fillings would be most suitable.
If porcelain fillings are chosen, we take an impression of the cavity to ensure a precise fit for your restoration.
Procedure Steps:
1. Anaesthesia: We administer local anaesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding gum tissue, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
2. Preparation: Using specialized dental tools, we carefully expand the cavity and remove any decayed or damaged tooth material.
3. Filling Placement: The white filling material (porcelain or composite resin) is placed or layered into the prepared cavity. For composite resin fillings, the material is applied in layers and hardened with a special ultraviolet light. This bonding process ensures the filling securely adheres to your tooth.
4. Shaping and Polishing: Once the filling material has hardened, our dentists sculpt it to match the natural contours of your tooth. The surface is then polished to a smooth finish, blending seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
The entire white fillings procedure typically takes about 30 minutes for a single tooth. If multiple fillings are needed or for more complex cases, additional time or a second visit may be necessary to complete the treatment effectively.
At Wagin Dental, we prioritize your comfort and satisfaction, providing meticulous care to restore your teeth’s strength and appearance with white fillings. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and discover how our personalized dental solutions can enhance your smile and oral health.
