Many of our patients are familiar with the silver-mercury
amalgam fillings that have been used for years in dental
practices. Although there are many dental offices that still
use them for restoration, we do not. We use composite resin
fillings that look natural, can be matched to the shade of
your tooth, and have absolutely no metals. They actually add
strength to a tooth and can last for years. Amalgam fillings did not enhance a smile, as they were a very dark plug in a light-colored tooth. People did not like the way they looked and that they were so noticeable when they spoke or smiled. They also had shortcomings as they did not bond well to a tooth and eventually, decay would set in. The composite restorations we use bond very tightly to a tooth to eliminate the chance of decay in the future and give a natural, pleasing look to your smile.
