White Fillings/Bondings
A Natural-Looking Solution for Your Smile
A beautiful smile can brighten your day and boost your confidence. At Mockler Dental, we understand the importance of preserving your natural smile. That's why we offer white fillings/bondings – a discreet and durable solution for repairing decayed or damaged teeth.
What are White Fillings/Bondings?
White fillings, also known as composite resin fillings or bondings, are tooth-colored materials used to restore teeth affected by cavities or minor fractures. They are made from a blend of plastic and glass particles that can be precisely matched to the shade of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and virtually invisible repair.
Benefits of White Fillings/Bondings:
- Aesthetics: White fillings blend in beautifully with your natural teeth, making them an ideal choice for visible areas of your smile.
- Durability: Modern composite resins are strong and long-lasting, providing a reliable restoration for your teeth.
- Conservation of Tooth Structure: Compared to traditional amalgam fillings, white fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure, preserving more of your natural tooth.
- Versatility: In addition to filling cavities, white fillings can also be used to repair chipped or worn teeth, close gaps between teeth, and reshape uneven teeth.
The White Filling/Bonding Procedure:
- Preparation: We will numb the area around the tooth to ensure your comfort during the procedure. The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth will be carefully removed.
- Bonding: The tooth surface will be prepared to create a strong bond with the filling material. The composite resin will be applied in layers, sculpted to the desired shape, and hardened with a special light.
- Polishing: Once the filling is set, it will be polished to a smooth, natural-looking finish.

White fillings are a great option for many patients, but the ideal solution for your specific needs will depend on several factors, including the size and location of the restoration, your oral health, and your aesthetic goals.
