Because our primary concern is to give you the best possible outcome, we use only bonded fillings. These are tooth colored fillings as opposed to the metal (silver amalgam/dark/black) fillings used in the past.
There are 3 primary reasons to use a bonded filling instead of the old style of fillings.
- 1. You lose less tooth in the process.
- 2. Bonded fillings add strength back to the tooth
- 3. You are less likely to have tooth fractures
Also, there is still a lot of controversy about the safety of the old style fillings. Some people do experience adverse allergic responses to the metal materials.
