White
Filling

The dentist will perform preliminary inspections before performing a white filling operation to ascertain whether further tests, including X-rays, are required. These assessments are necessary to ensure you receive the greatest care and the appropriate treatment for your oral health. White fillings will be positioned appropriately in the following steps following the assessments:

• By numbing the region surrounding your tooth or teeth of concern, a local anesthetic makes the operation more comfortable for you.
• Removing decayed materials: A drill, a laser, or an air abrasion tool are tools used to remove decayed materials from your teeth. 
• Last preparation and cleaning: The dentist will perform a last examination to ensure that the area that needs to be filled is free of extra material and any bacteria that might have been overlooked. 
• Putting the gloss and filling in: The fillings will be inserted after meticulous preparation. The dentist will use a specialized light to bond and “cure” each layer. The bond will then be strengthened by the application of resin. Finally, the dentist will polish your teeth to achieve the desired shape and natural appearance.

At Dentist of Aventura, we specialize in replacing old black fillings with natural-looking white fillings, ensuring your front teeth blend seamlessly with your smile. 

How to Care for Teeth After the Procedure

Although the white filling technique is painless and safe, individuals may occasionally feel uncomfortable following the procedure, particularly if the anesthesia wears off. For your fillings to be successfully preserved, you must maintain consistent attention to proper oral hygiene. To maintain the strength and effectiveness of your fillings, you must brush and floss your teeth daily, use mouthwash to remove bacteria, and visit the dentist every six months.

Benefits of White Fillings

Below are the main benefits of white fillings:
Reduced sensitivity risk
Metal transfers heat more quickly than composite resin. This feature helps patients prevent uncomfortable sensitivity when consuming hot or cold food and beverages.

Consistency

Temperature changes do not cause white fillings to expand or compress. Variations in temperature cause the expansion and contraction of silver amalgam fillings. Over time, these variations may erode and harm the surrounding tooth structure.
