Tooth Fillings

When fillings are necessary for teeth affected by decay, a tooth-colored filling eliminates the risk of mercury exposure that can be found in more traditional amalgam (metal) fillings. Tooth-colored fillings are made of a white, composite material, so they have the added benefit of a more aesthetically pleasing and discreet appearance. They are strong, typically long-lasting, and less likely to become loose when compared to traditional amalgam fillings.We exclusively use composite restoration material in our practice, amalgam restorations are never placed.
