SILVER VS TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS
Learn more about our superior restorations
For many years, silver fillings have been used to restore decayed teeth. However, over time, teeth tend to crack due to the expansion and contraction of the silver when exposed to hot and cold liquids we drink. These fractures initially start small and are difficult to detect. Eventually, the fractures deepen, causing temperature and pressure sensitivity when biting, or leading to large portions of the tooth breaking off.
In contrast, a more preventative approach is to replace silver fillings with new composite fillings or porcelain-bonded restorations before cracking occurs. This approach typically prevents further deterioration of the tooth.
Specifically, dental composites chemically adhere to the tooth and bind it together, thus restoring strength and integrity. Additionally, composites are usually as strong as the original tooth and can be formulated to match your tooth color. As a result, you’ll be pleased with how natural they feel alongside your original teeth.
