Tooth-Colored Fillings: Durable, Functional, and Esthetic
Tooth-colored fillings represent the standard for modern decay repair. Made from a plastic mixture called composite resin, tooth-colored fillings are blended to match your tooth color, allowing you to maintain an all-white smile following dental treatment. The composite mixture offers several benefits over traditional amalgam/metal fillings, including:
- Non-toxic: Tooth-colored fillings contain no mercury, a substance that's harmful to humans.
- Durable: Because of their strength, tooth-colored fillings can be used for front or back teeth.
- Attractive: Who wants metal showing in their mouth? Tooth-colored fillings provide a natural-looking alternative.
- Conservative: With tooth-colored fillings, Dr. Latham can conserve more of your natural tooth structure.
Teeth with extensive decay may require a crown, inlay, or onlay. Your case is unique, so Dr. Latham will discuss options with you and help you determine the best restorations for your situation.
