Fillings
Our doctors only use bonded composite resin tooth fillings which look better by matching the color of your own tooth enamel. More importantly, they are chemically bonded to the existing tooth structure. This creates a super tight seal between the tooth enamel and resin filling, resisting future loose fillings and leakage. (Unlike the old mercury metal fillings of the past that were not chemically sealed and have unhealthy micro leakage over time.)
In the past, dental cavities were filled with a mixture of metal alloys, also known as amalgam. Today, tooth-colored or composite fillings are a mixture of resin, glass or quartz and porcelain ceramics. These materials are resilient and long lasting. These fillings are colored to match the patient’s teeth and are practically invisible to the untrained eye. For aesthetic and/or medical purposes, these tooth-colored fillings can be used to replace old and worn dental amalgam, gold or other metal fillings.
