Tooth Colored Fillings

The days of old silver fillings are behind us. Amalgam (silver) fillings statistically last only 8 to 15 years. After that time, most teeth filled with these silver fillings start to weaken, crack, and eventually fracture which may require a crown and possibly a root canal as well. To avoid this it is advised that old failing silver fillings be replaced with bonded composite or possibly porcelain.

The state-of-the-art composites used actually strengthen the tooth and significantly reduce the risk of tooth fracture in the future.

should in its natural state.

With regular visits to the dentist and good oral hygiene, these tooth colored restorations will provide the patient many, many years of quality service.
