If you could choose to have a composite filling that matched the color of your tooth, made it stronger, and was long-lasting, would you choose it over a metal filling?
We thought so! Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way since one had to fix a cavity by drilling away healthy tooth structure and filling it with a very obvious amalgam (silver) filling. Not only do tooth-colored fillings look natural, they are safe, reliable and long-lasting. Best of all, they don’t require the dentist to drill away healthy tooth structure to make room for it. Instead, the tooth-colored filling chemically bonds to the tooth, making it even stronger. Composite fillings are durable, fracture-resistant, and able to withstand the pressure applied by chewing.
