Tooth-colored fillings

The concept of a “filling” is replacing and restoring your tooth structure that is damaged due to decay or fracture with a material. We will replace old, broken-down amalgam/metal fillings that contain traces of mercury with white fillings (composites) to restore your smile and teeth to a more natural look and feel.

With today’s advancements, no longer must you suffer the embarrassment of unsightly and unhealthy silver/mercury fillings or metal margins of the past. Eliminate the dark, black appearance in your teeth with new-age, state-of-the-art, tooth-colored resin or porcelain materials.

Comparing White (Resin) Fillings Versus Silver (Amalgam) Fillings:

Because white fillings bond to the tooth; they strengthen the tooth by restoring most of its original shape. Silver amalgams, on the other hand, weaken the teeth and make them more susceptible to cracking. Broken teeth can be very expensive to repair; white resin fillings can actually save time and money in the long run.
White fillings are preferred by most patients. This is due to the natural color, strength and overall appearance and feel. Composites are naturally more comfortable.
Hot and cold sensitivity is greatly reduced with composite material compared to the silver/mercury amalgams.
Restorations with composites require less removal of tooth, and thus less tooth structure to replace than amalgams. Especially with new cavities, dramatically smaller holes are needed with composites.
White fillings are healthier because they contain no traces of mercury. Silver fillings can contain up to 45% mercury by weight.
