Natural
Tooth Colored Fillings
In the past, teeth were most commonly repaired with amalgam (silver) fillings
or gold restorations. Thanks to advances in modern dental materials and techniques,
teeth can be restored with a more aesthetic and natural appearance.

Tooth Colored Fillings
Silver amalgam fillings have been in use for over 100
years. There is now NEW technology that allows a tooth to be filled with a strong
chemically bonded material that can be matched to the color of your tooth making it appear
nearly undetectable. Research has proven that a tooth with a natural colored bonded
filling is 90-95% as strong as a natural healthy tooth, whereas a silver filling is only
40-45% as strong as a natural tooth.
 BENEFITS:
Beautiful in
appearance
Completed in a single visit
Stronger than a silver filling
No filling leaks
Less chance of tooth cracking |
