When you visit your dentist regularly during your regular visits, we’ll clean up decay and fillings in order to repair tooth structure. We employ a range of filling materials but the majority of patients prefer the composite (tooth-colored) fillings due to the fact that they are natural-looking and are also durable.

Cosmetic dentists may also utilize composite fillings to treat dental cavities which have penetrated the enamel, showing the structure inside the tooth. Contrary to amalgam fillings made of silver, composite resins are able to blend with the tooth structure to give a more seamless outcome.

In the past, the majority of dental fillings were composed from amalgam, which is made of a mix of metals like liquid mercury as well as alloys. But, more modern dental fillings have been developed which are not made of metal and are more attractive.
