White Fillings
Natural Looking Restorations
Traditional amalgam (silver) fillings have worked very effectively for over a century. Despite their excellent wear resistance, and ease of placement, they can look unsightly when you laugh or smile.
White fillings, which are carefully bonded into place, both help to restore your tooth, and your natural appearance. Your dentist will take time to match the shade carefully to your existing teeth to ensure they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
