Fillings/Restorations


Tooth-Colored Fillings

In the past, dental cavities were filled with a mixture of metal alloys, also known as amalgam. Tooth-colored or composite fillings are a mixture of resin, glass or quartz and porcelain ceramics. These materials are very resilient and long lasting. Tooth-Colored fillings are colored to match the patient’s teeth and are practically invisible to the untrained eye. For aesthetic and/or medical purposes, these tooth-colored fillings can be used to replace old and worn dental amalgam, gold or other metal fillings.
