Whether you need to repair a cavity or replace an old filling, our expert team provides both white (composite) and silver (amalgam) fillings to meet your specific needs.
White fillings or composite resin fillings have become the standard in repairing a cavity. The main advantage to using composite is the tooth is restored to almost the exact strength it was before the cavity. This will in-turn make the tooth less susceptible to chipping and breaking. Composite resins are esthetically more pleasing.
Silver fillings have been used for many years. Silver or amalgam fillings are composed of one or more metals in combination with mercury. Although amalgam fillings have a long history of successful use many people are choosing composite resin filling for esthetic reasons and concern over the long term health effects of mercury. In certain cases, in consultation with you, your dentist might recommend amalgam instead of composite resin.
