White fillings have been the material of choice for tooth fillings for more than two decades, and advances in materials and techniques mean that our white fillings are even more natural looking, more polished, and have an improved combination of strength, finish and longevity than ever before.
White Fillings
A Porcelain White Filling can provide additional strength to white resin fillings with an often increased longievity.
Time to Replace Your Old, Amalgam Fillings?
Old failing, black metal amalgam fillings hold potential for future problems within our teeth. Time is showing that old amalgam restorations and dental fillings create stress on the surrounding tooth structure, and in the end, teeth can crack and break down, or decay could leak underneath these fillings.
If treated early, teeth have better long-term prognosis. At Smile Artistry, we can advise when it is time to replace old amalgam fillings.
Are White Fillings Right for You?
White fillings are a great treatment option for many people, though in the case of teeth that have larger holes or cracks, we may recommend using porcelain crowns or porcelain onlays to restore the tooth to full strength. Porcelain onlays are stronger, and will usually outlast white fillings. This returns the integrity to your tooth, and helps to prevent fatal fractures, and further breakdown that could lead to root canal treatment or extraction.
Below is a patient who had fissure decay and an old grey amalgam filling. The teeth were restored with IPS Empress Direct white fillings.
White Fillings Life Expectancy
White Fillings may last from just a few years right up to a few decades. Generally, the smaller the filling, the longer it will last. Very large white fillings will require a porcelain crown or onlay to rebuild the lost strength in the tooth.
Particularly with back teeth, the width of a filling is a good determinant of the intact strength of the remaining tooth structure. When this width increases over one third, and definitely over half from cusp tip to cusp tip, then strength is greatly diminished. In these instances, dental fillings will not suffice long-term, and the tooth will need to be strengthened by covering over the entire top of the tooth with an onlay or crown.

Myth vs Fact: Sugar is the only cause of cavities 🦷
Fact: While sugar is a major contributor, other factors can also cause cavities:
🪥 Acidic foods and drinks can erode tooth enamel, making teeth more susceptible to decay.
🪥 Poor oral hygiene allows plaque to build up and produce acids that attack enamel.
🪥 Lack of fluoride reduces enamel strength and its resistance to acid.
🪥 Additionally, dry mouth, frequent snacking, and deep tooth grooves can increase the risk of cavities.
Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene habits are essential for preventing tooth decay. Contact us today to book your appointment 3870 3333 or via the link in our bio 🦷
