“Sandy White, a long-time patient, says, ‘Our family have been with York House for over 30 years. Even after moving away, we travel back for the unmatched service we receive.’”
Composite fillings offer a discrete alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings. Not only do they repair cavities, but they also correct minor cosmetic issues like chips or cracks, especially in visible areas of your smile.
When a tooth defect is too substantial for a standard filling but does not require a crown, inlays and onlays provide a perfect solution. Made from durable materials like composite resin or dental porcelain, they fit into or onto the tooth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure than crowns.
Benefits of Inlays and Onlays:
The process typically takes about an hour, depending on the size and location of the cavity and the type of filling material.
No, the procedure is pain-free. The area is numbed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort, and sedation options are available for nervous patients.
Yes, you can eat immediately after getting a white filling. However, it’s advisable to wait until the anesthesia wears off to avoid accidentally biting your cheek or tongue.
With proper care, white fillings can last 7-10 years, similar to amalgam fillings. Their longevity can vary depending on their location in the mouth and your oral hygiene habits.
