Cosmetic Fillings In Stratford, CT
Cosmetic fillings replace and restore damaged, decayed, or fractured teeth. When necessary, we are able to replace old, broken-down amalgam/metal fillings with tooth colored material to restore teeth to a more natural look and feel.
With today’s advancements, our patients have choices which eliminate the dark or black color in your teeth with new-age, state-of-the-art, tooth-colored resin or porcelain materials.
White Cosmetic Fillings Versus Silver Amalgam Cosmetic Fillings
White composite fillings are preferred by most patients. This is due to the natural color, and overall appearance. Composites are more comfortable because hot and cold sensitivity is greatly reduced compared to the silver/mercury amalgams.
Restoration of teeth using composites require less removal of tooth structure than those with amalgams, especially with new cavities. This makes treatment less invasive and more conservative. Dentists and patients like this technique for these reasons!!
