Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite (tooth-colored) fillings provide a safe and esthetic alternative to traditional silver/amalgam fillings for several reasons.
Unlike amalgam, composite resin contains no metal and no mercury. However, it is durable and can withstand the rigors of daily chewing and biting. Tooth-colored fillings seal teeth better, and they are less prone to leakage than amalgam fillings. This means your natural tooth is less likely to crack after restoration. In addition, tooth-colored fillings look like natural tooth enamel, so you can smile and speak with confidence.
If dental work from years passed has left you with a mouth of silver/amalgam fillings and metal crowns, talk with Dr. Obholz about replacing them with modern esthetic restorations. You can reclaim an all-white, comfortable and functional, completely natural-looking smile with tooth-colored fillings and white crowns.
Your family deserves healthy smiles designed for a lifetime. Call Aesthetic & Family Dentistry of Washington today to talk to Dr. Obholz about tooth-colored fillings.
