“Tooth Color” Fillings

Natural Looking Dental Filling Material

An old metal filling can be replaced by a tooth-colored dental filling. Tooth-colored dental fillings are a safer and more attractive alternative to older dark silver fillings. By matching tooth-colored composite fillings with the natural color of your teeth, the doctors at The Dental Center are able to provide you with white dental fillings that are virtually invisible. The removal of an old silver (amalgam) filling can provide patients with a white tooth colored filling that provides a more pleasing, silver-free smile.

Composite resin is a tooth colored plastic mixture filled with silicon dioxide (glass). Composite fillings do not expand and contract as much as silver fillings do, providing a more comfortable filling solution.
