| Silver colored metal called amalgam has been used as filling material for many years and has a history of being effective, but not esthetically pleasing. Recent advances in dental material technology has made comparable tooth colored material, called composites availiable, that meet or exceed the properties of amalgams, without the silver color on your teeth! | |
| Benifits are not limited to cosmetics, because composite fillings are bonded to your teeth, forming a tight seal that inhibits marginal leakage. Composite materials are characteristically less prone to expansion and contraction than analgam, minimizing cracking and craze lines from developing in your remaining natural tooth structure. Composite fillings are more expensive, however they provide a more natural looking, durable restoration. | |
