White fillings are generally safe, but they come with some risks like any dental treatment. These include:
Sensitivity: You might experience mild sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages.
Staining: Over time, white fillings can become stained or discolored, especially if you consume staining substances like coffee or red wine.
Wear and tear: While durable, white fillings can wear down or chip, particularly if you grind your teeth or bite on hard objects.
Bonding issues: Occasionally, the filling might not bond perfectly with the tooth, potentially leading to gaps or leaks.
Dr. Weiselberg can help manage these risks and ensure your fillings provide long-lasting results.
