White fillings and inlays are relatively new solutions to the problem of filling cavities caused by decay. White fillings are tooth coloured to match the individuals shade and is composed of porcelain with a resin binder, which is then set hard with pure white light using fibre-optic technology.

Inlays are made of pure porcelain, they are the most ideal way to restore cavities. As with white fillings the decay is removed and an impression is taken of the tooth which is then used to create a plaster-cast on which the laboratory will model an inlay. The result is an inlay which fits the cavity precisely and is indistinguishable from your natural tooth.
