Tooth Colored Fillings

In previous years the only filling material available was a metal material made of silver and mercury; however, now there is a more esthetically pleasing solution to repairing missing tooth structure from caused by, decay, wear, or trauma. With the use of composite material, or tooth colored filling material; which is composed of dental plastic resin and combined with porcelain and glass particles, it is now possible to restore teeth to a stronger and durable state while maintaining a very natural and attractive appearance. With the use of a shade guide, which represents the different shades of white filling material that are available to use, the dentist is able to match your specific tooth color to one on the guide to ensure that the best possible outcome is achieved.

This is a great option that allows for one to take care of their dental health needs so they are able to better their overall health, while at the same time maintaining a beautiful smile. Silver fillings can also be removed and replaced by the tooth colored filling material which doesn’t just maintain an appealing smile, it enhances one’s smile.
