Cosmetic Fillings and their Benefits
June 23, 2014
Cosmetic fillings are a more natural-looking alternative to the silver amalgam filling. They not only perform the basic function of filling a tooth, but also restore a person's teeth back to their natural look. Cosmetic fillings will have you teeth looking and feeling great.
Composite White
Composite white filling is made of a synthetic combination resin, which has a natural color to match your teeth. They are considered to be direct fillings, meaning they are done in one dental visit. This type of treatment is suitable for people whose teeth have very little decay and a small to medium cavity.
Cosmetics fillings are beneficial in that they are much more natural looking and can give you the confidence of a great smile. Using these types in place of silver amalgam also removes any possibility of mercury exposure that many believe to be harmful.
