In dentistry, fillings are one of the most common treatments: they are routinely performed in any dental clinic but, despite this, patients do not know much about them. There are two types: cosmetic fillings (in white resin) and metal fillings (dark grey in colour). We use cosmetic fillings to rebuild the tooth after caries removal and also to have the possibility to change the shape and colour of a tooth. Missing or misaligned teeth, stains and discolourations are problems that can easily be resolved with cosmetic fillings.

The issue of metal fillings is much debated in Italy: did you know that metal fillings contain mercury, a highly toxic material? This is why its use has been banned for years in northern European countries, but not yet in Italy. Unfortunately, there is little awareness among patients and, indeed, there are still many dentists who use this old and dangerous technique. However, it is important to know that the gradual and natural wear of the enamel and of the filling material, results in the partial ingestion of toxic particles! Therefore, in the case of old metal fillings in poor condition, White Smile Milano strongly recommends having them replaced immediately with resin cosmetic fillings. Moreover, metal masks seepage at the edges of the filling and hides caries: by the time you realise this, it is often too late, by then the tooth is severely compromised.
White Smile Milano’s procedure for performing cosmetic fillings involves:
When a caries is present, on the other hand, a complete treatment of the tooth must be carried out. In this type of situation, the cosmetic filling treatment starts with the removal of the caries and the disinfection of the cleaned cavity. Only then will the tooth be reconstructed with a genuine cosmetic filling, similar in colour and shape to the neighbouring teeth, so that no one can notice any embarrassing differences.
White Smile Milano’s cosmetic fillings are the ideal solution for all the imperfections that can spoil the beauty of a smile.
