Rigby White Fillings
Technology development for Rigby white fillings has improved dramatically since the 1990’s. That means that by the time Dr. Mikesell went through dental school in the new century, he received the latest training for resin-based fillings. Special training is of particular importance to ensure a quality adhesion.
- First, they have amazing aesthetic appeal! They blend naturally with your teeth. This means you can laugh or sing without advertising your cavity count with silver fillings.
- Second, they do not contain heavy metals. Amalgam fillings contain mercury, which some consider to be toxic to your body. White fillings offer a great peace of mind in that regard.

What to Expect
If you have had silver amalgam fillings in the past, one of the major differences you will notice with Rigby white fillings is the extra precautions taken to keep your injured tooth absolutely dry. Failure to keep the tooth dry could result in adhesion failure.
Once the decayed area has been cleaned, a dough-like substance is inserted into the tooth. This is a cocktail of resin-based polymers, engineered filler-glass and ceramics; as well as and inorganic fillers such as silica. These basic ingredients will be slightly adjusted to provide color matching, natural luster, as well as adhesion properties necessary depending on your cavity site.

FAQs
What are white fillings, and how are they different from silver fillings?
A. White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a tooth-colored resin material that blends naturally with your teeth. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, they provide a more aesthetic result, bond directly to the tooth structure, and require less removal of healthy enamel during treatment.
How long do white fillings last?
A. With proper care and regular dental checkups, white fillings can last 10 years or longer. Their lifespan depends on factors such as your oral hygiene habits, diet, and the size of the filling. Our team at Cedar Creek Dentist in Rigby, ID ensures that your fillings are placed precisely for maximum durability and comfort.
Are white fillings safe and suitable for all teeth?
A.Yes! White fillings are completely safe, mercury-free, and biocompatible. They can be used to restore front or back teeth affected by cavities or minor damage. Your dentist will assess your teeth during your exam and recommend white fillings if they’re the best option for your smile.
