Tooth-Colored Fillings

If you're embarrassed about your smile because of decay or dark fillings in your teeth, you may be a good candidate for tooth-colored composite resins. A silicon dioxide-filled mixture of composite resins can restore teeth to an attractive, healthy state. Composite resins represent several advantages over traditional silver or amalgam fillings.

Because composite resins are not made of metal, we can blend and mix shades to find the perfect color to match your natural teeth. This means only you and your dentist will know you have fillings. Another advantage is that the tooth/composite bond actually supports the remaining tooth structure, deterring breakage and insulating against temperature changes. Medium and small composites can last seven to ten years – that’s as long as the commonly-used, toxic mercury amalgams. Best of all, composite resins allow us to keep more of your natural tooth structure intact than mercury fillings. We believe in conservative dentistry – the more natural tooth structure you keep, the better teeth you’ll likely have in the future.
