Composite Fillings
Composite, or tooth-colored, fillings are made of glass particles and plastic resins. They are used a great deal in cosmetic dentistry because they look so natural. They are bio-compatible, strong, mercury-free, and are bonded to the tooth. They do not stain your teeth and many times can be used to prevent the need to crown a tooth. They not only look better, they are better for your teeth than silver-mercury fillings.
Silver-mercury fillings are an amalgamated metal that is very hard and causes many problems. Since metal expands and contracts, they tend to flex your tooth, many times breaking the existing tooth structure. Once you loose tooth structure, you can never get it back or replace it with anything as good as your natural tooth. Silver fillings are not bonded to the tooth, so they can leak around the filling, causing further decay. Silver fillings always leak mercury vapors and can stain the existing tooth structure black in some instances.
Please ask us about gift certificates for whitening and other cosmetic services!
