Tooth Colored Dental Fillings
Tooth Colored Dental Fillings
Even if you brush twice a day and floss regularly like you’ve been told, you may still develop cavities. Thankfully these can be dealt with using dental fillings. Now in the past, metal amalgam fillings were the standard way of addressing cavities. These days, we can use special dental resins and composite materials to create tooth colored dental fillings.
There are plenty of advantages when it comes to tooth colored dental fillings. For one, they are not as visible as metal fillings. In addition, tooth colored fillings will not be affected by shifts and extremes in temperature as metal fillings can. On top of all this, preparing a tooth for a tooth colored filling requires less drilling and removal of healthy tooth matter than preparing a tooth for metal fillings.
