Tooth Fillings

There are two types of fillings. Most people notice them by color. One is silver or amalgam the other is tooth colored or resin.

Many people still have silver/mercury fillings in their mouths from years past. These fillings are not particularly pleasing to the eye and can lead to microleakage over a period of time.


Advantages of Tooth-Colored Restorations:

There are many advantages to tooth-colored restorations. The filling material is contoured and placed to create a tight, superior fit to the existing tooth structure . Inlays and onlays are restorations  that can be used in instances where much of the tooth structure has been lost. The tooth remains intact and stronger.


The result is a beautiful smile!
