Tooth Colored Fillings
In the past, teeth were filled with a mixture—or amalgam—of different metals. Today more natural-looking and metal-free fillings are becoming the preferred approach. We are using more tooth-like materials (composite resins and porcelains) that are both safe and predictable. The most important feature, for many people, is that they look and react more like natural teeth.
