White Composite Fillings

Everyone wants to have a nice, healthy smile. Even if you take great care of your teeth and do everything you can in order to prevent a cavity, it may occasionally develop. Dr. Keith Rudolph gives his Fairfield, CT patients the best options in dental fillings by using white composite fillings.


Dr. Rudolph and his experienced and knowledgeable staff want you to leave their office completely satisfied with your dental experience. In the past, fillings were often made of different metals including gold and silver. This type of filling is known as an amalgam filling. Although in some instances amalgam fillings may still be used, newer options exist, which look natural and improves a patient’s smile.


White composite fillings offer several advantages over other types of fillings. For instance, aesthetics are one of the major benefits of white composite fillings. Dr. Rudolph is able to blend colors together in order to match the shade of the tooth being filled and surrounding teeth. This creates a natural appearance and allows the filling to blend in, so it is not noticeable. Composite fillings also strengthen the integrity of the tooth.


With other types of fillings, it may be necessary to drill more in order to shape a space, which will securely hold the filling. Since the bonding process helps hold the filling in place, less drilling is involved. That means less time spent in the dental chair. In some instances, white composite filling can be used with other materials in order to get the best possible results.
