Tooth Colored Fillings

Until recently, everyone believed that repairing teeth with white fillings was only for cosmetic purposes, and wondered if white fillings were as durable as silver-metal restorations (fillings). Research, over a sixteen year-period, now shows that with proper technique, the quality of these advanced restorations actually surpasses traditional silver-metal fillings. With modern technologies of dental adhesion, resins, lasers, and state-of-the-art ceramics, the new composite resin restorations are close to rivaling the strength, wear, function, and appearance of natural teeth.

In many circumstances, metal fillings or crowns can be replaced with techniques that are more conservative than the traditional silver-metal fillings. These new materials can bond teeth back together, virtually restoring them back to their virgin strength, without the necessity of full-coverage crowns. It is now possible to use tooth-colored fillings to preserve healthy, remaining tooth structure.
