WHITE COLORED FILLINGS
White colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are innovative dental restorations designed to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional durability. At Apex Dentistry, under the expert guidance of Dr. Mojgan Salehi, we offer white colored fillings as a superior alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings, allowing you to maintain a beautiful smile while addressing cavities and tooth damage.
Understanding White Colored Fillings
White colored fillings are made from a composite resin material that mimics the appearance and color of natural tooth enamel. Unlike silver amalgam fillings, which are noticeable due to their dark color, white colored fillings are virtually indistinguishable from your surrounding teeth, creating a seamless and natural-looking restoration.

BENEFITS OF WHITE COLORED FILLINGS
Aesthetic Appeal
White colored fillings seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile and boosting your confidence.
Tooth Preservation
Unlike silver amalgam fillings, which require more extensive tooth preparation, white colored fillings allow for minimal tooth structure removal, preserving more of your natural tooth.
Durability
White colored fillings are durable and long-lasting, providing reliable support for your tooth while withstanding the pressures of biting and chewing.
Biocompatibility
Composite resin material used in white colored fillings is biocompatible and free from mercury or other potentially harmful metals, making it a safe and healthy choice for dental restorations.

THE WHITE COLORED FILLINGS PROCEDURE
During your appointment for white colored fillings at Apex Dentistry, Dr. Salehi will perform the following steps:
PREPARATION
The affected tooth will be carefully cleaned and prepared to remove decay or damage. Dr. Salehi will then precisely shape the tooth to accommodate the filling material.
BONDING
The composite material will be hardened and bonded to the tooth surface using a special curing light, ensuring a secure and durable restoration.
COMPOSITE APPLICATION
The composite resin material will be applied in layers to the prepared tooth, carefully sculpted to achieve the desired shape and contour.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Once the filling is in place, Dr. Salehi will polish and refine the restoration to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth enamel, providing a smooth and natural-looking finish.
