FAQ’s
Answer
At Stella Dental, we offer all three types of white filling – porcelain, composite, and glass ionomer. Glass ionomer fillers are only used as a temporary measure before a full filling is applied, or beneath one of the other fillings for added structure.
Answer
Ceramic fillings are made of stain-resistant porcelain, which retains its colour for longer than composites. Ceramic fillings are lab-made and longer lasting than composite fillings, but also more expensive as a result. Composites are a great choice if you want to conceal the fact you have a filling as they are designed to exactly match the colour of your natural teeth. Ceramic fillings require more than one dental appointment, whereas a composite filling can be placed in a single day.
Answer
The most durable of the two options is ceramic fillings, lasting 10 – 15 years. Composite fillings last for around 5 years.
Answer
When tooth-coloured fillings were first invented they had a reputation for being fragile. Still, over the past 40 years, significant advancements in dental technology mean that modern white fillings can be just as strong as metal fillings.
