White Dental Fillings

Fillings Without Metal

Amalgam fillings of silver-mercury have been the common material used for filling most dental caries for a number of years. It is not the most functional material, as metal does not bond well to a natural tooth. This allows for decay to eventually set in. Patients especially don't like the appearance of dark fillings in light teeth, which are very noticeable when smiling or speaking. 

We do not use metal fillings at our practice. We have selected modern composite resin fillings that contain no metal and can be made to match the shade of the tooth. They bond tightly to teeth and provide additional strength to the remaining tooth structure. The tight and lasting bond helps to prevent decay from setting in or around the filling.
