We offer composite resin fillings (also known as mercury-free fillings, white fillings, or tooth-colored fillings) for back teeth as well as front. They offer several advantages over silver for small-to medium-sized fillings.
Advantages of Composite Resin Fillings
- They look like teeth.
- They bond to the tooth, allowing more conservative cavity preparation.
- They bond to the tooth, strengthening the remaining tooth.
- They are less likely to fracture the remaining tooth over time than silver fillings.
The durability and long term success of composite resins depends on the quality of materials used and the techniques used. There is a wide variety in the quality of filling materials. We use only the highest quality materials and the most current techniques available today.
