As we all know, tooth decay can lead to
cavities. For over 100 years, dentists have
been using silver-mercury amalgam
fillings to restore decayed or broken teeth. (In fact,the Chinese first used silver fillings in the 7th century.) Historically, the only other
alternative was gold, and that was always too expensive for most folks.
These silver fillings are called amalgams.
Amalgam fills the space where the decay in
the tooth has been removed. However,
over time, the amalgam can corrode and leak.Teeth can crack because of the expansion of the amalgam. This blackens the silver,
and many times the tooth. This can be seen when a patient opens his or her mouth, and
it is often a source of embarrassment for the patient.
Now, we have many ways to provide tooth-colored restorations. We can use adhesives
to bond tooth parts that look and act like teeth. We can provide a bright, healthy and
strong smile with these exciting new techniques in adhesion dentistry.
Composite fillings are a new and
economical way to restore teeth while keeping patients' smiles looking great.
They are made of a porcelain-like material that actually bonds to the tooth for
a tight seal. They are strong and stain-resistant, and they are color-matched
to the natural tooth, making them appear invisible.
Tooth-colored resin fillings are made of
glass particles in a plastic matrix. The doctor
bonds the putty-like material to the
tooth with a high-intensity light. This hardens thematerial and allows it to be shaped and polished for immediate use.
Once completed, the tooth has a natural appearance and is actually stronger than
before due to the strength of the adhesive agent used to bond the resin to the tooth.
Resin restorations not only look better, but they are stronger and last longer than the old
silver-amalgam fillings.
Composite fillings also lack the
sensitivity that is often associated with silver amalgam
fillings. They are especially suited for
smaller cavities and for patients who may beallergic to metal fillings.

invisible composite fillings, please don't hesitate to call our office to schedule an appointment.
