Tooth-Colored Fillings
We like composite/resin fillings for their natural appearance and the near perfect color match we can get with your teeth. Composite fillings also bond better to your teeth, helping to restore your tooth´s natural strength.
We refuse to use silver/mercury fillings in our dental
practice. It has been found that old silver fillings corrode over time,
darken the teeth, and act like a wedge in a tooth; often leading to
tooth fractures. Also, some people have concerns with mercury contamination
so why risk it.
The difference between an arch with silver fillings and an arch with
white bonded filling is remarkable! Your smile will immediately brighten
up once the old blackened fillings are removed.
In the above before and after images, the
back two teeth used to be filled with dark mercury fillings and we
replaced them with these beautiful bonded restorations.
