Tooth-Colored Fillings

Today, tooth-colored fillings can replace silver amalgam and gold fillings to create a more natural look by using new stronger synthetic resins or porcelain. The materials are bonded to the teeth and are very strong and durable. Silver fillings can really darken a smile and, over time, can stain a tooth black. So replacing them with tooth colored fillings can make a dramatic difference. The new fillings are virtually invisible; they restore teeth to their original beauty and help patients look their best.
