White (Non-Metal) Dental Fillings in North York – Bayview Smile Centre
Are you bothered by unsightly, old amalgam (metal) fillings? At Bayview Smile Centre, we offer a natural looking, non-metal solution to filling cavities, We use white, compostite material to seamlessly repair your teeth, or replace old metal restorations. These materials are not only aesthetically pleasing, but durable as well.
What Are White (Non-Metal) Fillings?
White fillings, also referred to as composite fillings, are made from a special blend of fine glass plarticles and plastic. These fillings contain no metal, unlike their amalgam predescesors. Due to the way that the material is made, many different shades can be combined to perfectly match the natural colour of your tooth. This type of restoration is chemically bonded to the tooth, and requires less tooth preparation (drilling) prior to placing the filling. While amalgam and gold fillings were the only choice for quite some time, now thet standard used by most dentists is composite filling material. This type of filling is practically invisible.
Benefits of White (Non-Metal) Fillings
The tooth coloured resin material blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, making the filling nearly invisible
Due to the process of bonding the white filling material to the tooth, less tooth structure needs to be removed prior to placing the fillings. This preserves more of your natural tooth.
Older amalgam fillings contained small amounts of mercury, which has been linked to some health issues. White fillings contain no metal or harmful materials. Less Sensitivity - Because white filling material foes not conduct heat and cold like metal does, there is less likely to be post-filling sensitivity.
Compostie material can be used to treat cavities, as well as repair cracks and chips. We can also replace old, metal restorations with white resin in order to improve their appearnance.

Examination & Consultation
During an examination, we will assess your teeth, identify decay, and carefully examine your existing restorations. We will discuss your goals and provide options.
Preparation
Prior to placing the filling material, the tooth is thouroughly cleaned, the decay is removed, and the area is dried to ensure the filling material can properly bond to the surface.
Filling
The filling material is applied in thin layers, which are hardened with a curing light in between layers.
Shaping & Polishing
Your dentist will then adjust the restoration to fit your bite, and polish it so that it is perfectly smooth (just like your natural tooth surface).
Maintenance
Your white filling should last for many years as long as you maintain good homecare and regular visits to your dentist. Over time, composite fillings may stain and require polishing.
How Long Will My White Filling Last?
Modern, white compostite fillings are very durable and can often last for many years. Their longevity depends on your oral hygiene, as well as the size and location of the filling.
Proper care includes:
- Brush and floss your teeth every day
- Do not use your teeth to bite or chew things that are not food
- See your dentist for regular check ups
- Keey an eye out for any signs of chipping or staining - some minor repairs may be needed to extend the life of you restoration.
