Tooth colored fillings
No more seeing those awful black fillings when you laugh or smile. Many people are choosing to have natural tooth-colored fillings, as they are more aesthetically pleasing than metal amalgam fillings and have several other benefits for the teeth. Composite fillings are designed to blend in with the rest of the teeth so that they are invisible to other people, a stark contrast to metal fillings, which are highly visible when you open your mouth.
Tooth-colored fillings are made from porcelain composite material, which matches the natural color of the teeth and prevents bacteria from affecting the internal portion of the tooth. Composite fillings also help to prevent tooth fractures, which can be caused by the contraction and expansion of metal fillings over the course of time.
Porcelain composite fillings are completely natural looking and will fit in with the rest of your teeth, keeping your smile looking healthy and natural. Porcelain fillings are also durable and will last many years.
Replacing amalgam fillings
Many people have amalgam fillings from when they were used on a regular basis before composite fillings were introduced. If you already have a metal filling you can easily have it replaced with a natural tooth-colored filling. Dr Williams and her team are highly experienced in this field and they will happily discuss replacing your old filling with a new tooth-colored one. This is a simple and safe procedure, which could make a huge difference to the aesthetics of your smile.
