Tooth colored filings

In the past, cavities could only be treated with unsightly metal fillings (silver colored). These fillings, especially when close to the front of the mouth, are highly noticeable and unaesthetic. Often, these fillings cause discoloration of the natural tooth structure.

 

Modern dentistry has increasingly turned to composite resin restorations (tooth colored fillings) as a strong, safe and more natural looking alternative. Composite materials restore form and function by utilizing a moldable tooth colored plastic material that is hardened with an intense visible light to restore the tooth.
