Composite Resins (Tooth Colored Fillings)
If you're embarrassed about your smile because of decay or dark fillings in your teeth, you may be a good candidate for composite resins. A tooth-colored plastic mixture, composite resins can restore teeth to an attractive, healthy state. Composite resins represent several advantages over traditional silver, or amalgam, fillings.
Because tooth colored fillings are not made of metal, we can blend and mix shades to find the perfect color to match your natural teeth. This means only you and your dentist will know you have fillings. Another advantage is that the toothcolored fillings actually supports the remaining tooth structure and helps to avoid breakage of the tooth. Best of all, tooth colored fillings allow us to keep more of your natural tooth structure than silver fillings. We believe in conservative dentistry – the more natural tooth structure you keep, the better teeth you’ll likely have in the future.
