There are now a number of modern alternatives to dental amalgam that is inert, far more aesthetically safe and pleasing. White fillings are made of a resin composite material which doesn’t have metal, and more importantly, has no mercury content.

The tooth is prepped, and decay completely removed, the resin polymer is placed into the cavity according to the colour shade of your tooth, a curing light is used to cure the resin. Finally, it is polished.

At DENTINOVA dental care centre we use a technique called bonding to repair broken, cracked and misshapen teeth. Tooth coloured bonding materials are used to gradually build up the affected area of the tooth and restore the appearance of the natural tooth.
