White Fillings

 

People face cavity and decay problems at some point in their life. United Dental at Lowell is ready to provide white filling solutions to help you restore your teeth' function, strength, and comfort and protect them from further damage. There are many types of dental fillings to restore your teeth, but United Dental works with white fillings, also called tooth-colored fillings or composite fillings.

What are White Fillings?

A filling is a procedure when an area of a tooth where the cavity was removed is filled in with a tooth-colored material. In case of a decayed tooth, a filling will restore the function and shape of your tooth and prevent further decay. Dental fillings are also used to restore broken, cracked, or worn-down teeth. 

Types of White Fillings

 

There are two types of white fillings:

Indirect fillings: Indirect fillings are prepared in a dental laboratory. These fillings are then bonded onto your tooth to restore the function and aesthetics of your tooth. Our indirect fillings are usually made of porcelain.

Direct fillings: Direct fillings (Direct Restorations) are done directly in your mouth.

Benefits Of White Fillings:

There are several benefits to having a white filling, aside from the aesthetic benefits:

       ● The composite material bonded to your teeth helps to restore original function and strength 

       ● Completely risk-free

       ● Non-invasive and painless procedure

       ● Do not affect your teeth’s sensitivity

       ● White fillings blend in the color of the teeth

       ● Can be fitted in one appointment

       ● Durable and, with proper care, can last a very long time

 

The natural-looking white fillings provided by United Dental will blend perfectly with the color and luster of your natural teeth.
