Nowadays fillings are not only functional, but can be natural looking as well. The material for white fillings can vary,and are mainly made of glass particles, porcelain and a synthetic resin and a setting ingredient.

White fillings are less long lasting and can discolour. They are not suitable on the back teeth . The life expectancy of a white filling can depend greatly on where it is in the mouth and how heavy the teeth come together when you bite.
