Prior to the advent of white (composite) fillings, silver amalgam fillings were the standard filling material used in dental practices. While they are an adequate restoration, amalgams have certain shortcomings. Metal does not bond (stick) well to teeth and can cause small cracks to develop in the teeth over time. Sometimes these cracks will become big enough that they cause a portion of the tooth to break, necessitating more extensive dental work to properly restore (fill) your tooth. In addition, most patients prefer the esthetics of a tooth-colored filling material and simply do not want an ugly black filling in their teeth. Because of this, we only offer modern composite restorations that are strong, natural looking, and contain no metals.
