Fillings

We are very proud to offer the latest advancements in non-metal filling options! Here at Comprehensive Dental Care, we have not placed a silver or amalgam filling in over 30 years. The technology and health benefits for bonded fillings have come a long way

Historically, amalgam fillings, sometimes referred to as silver fillings, were the most commonly placed filling material. The problem for many on this is that the primary component of an amalgam filling is mercury, not silver. Amalgam is a metal and through thermal cycling it expands and contracts which puts extra stress on the walls of the teeth. This often leads to broken and fractured teeth.

Until recently, patients were often told that tooth-colored fillings, were not as durable as traditional metal fillings. This is not true. Advancements in dental technology have now made the cosmetically superior naturally colored fillings rival the strength, wear, function, and appearance of a real tooth.

There are many advantages to Composite Fillings:

• The appearance is much better
• They actually preserve your teeth
• Color can be adjusted to match your tooth
• They help to prevent decay
• They are healthier than silver amalgam fillings
