Replace Silver Fillings With White Tooth
Fillings At Gunbarrel Dental Center
Many
people in the Boulder area have had silver fillings placed into their
teeth because they had "cavities". These silver fillings are called
amalgams. Amalgam fills the space where the decay in the tooth has been
removed.However, over time, the amalgam corrodes and leaks which
blackens the silver, and many times the tooth. This is easily seen as
soon as a patient opens his or her mouth and is usually a source of
embarrassment for the patient.
At Gunbarrel Dental Center we can
provide you with composite fillings that are made of a porcelain-like
material that actually bonds to the tooth for a tight seal. They are
strong and stain-resistant, and they are color-matched to the natural
tooth, making them more esthetic.
Composite fillings also lack the sensitivity that is often associated
with silver amalgam fillings. They are especially suited for smaller
cavities and for patients who may be allergic to metal fillings.
Please don't hesitate to call Gunbarrel
Dental Center at (303) 530-4145 with any questions you may have about
the benefits of replacing silver amalgam fillings with esthetic
composite fillings.
