Modern Filling Materials
We use only composite resin filling materials that contain no metals. For years, the silver-mercury amalgam has been the most common substance used. As metal does not bond well to a tooth's surface, eventually the fillings loosen and allow decay to set in. The biggest objection patients have to metal fillings is their appearance of a noticeable dark patch in their teeth. The filling materials we use are made to match the shade of a tooth to make it undetectable and to create a pleasing smile. These also bond very tightly to a tooth's structure, reducing the chance of a cavity developing. They are long lasting and add strength to the tooth's structure for full functionality.
