Tooth Colored Fillings vs. Silver Fillings

Tooth colored fillings also called composite fillings.They repair cavities, chips, and damaged teeth.They match your natural tooth color, so they look almost invisible.These fillings bond to the tooth and may help support its remaining structure.They also usually need less drilling because the dentist removes only the decayed part. Silver fillings or amalgam fillings are strong and safe for many patients. However, they may expand and contract over time, which could place stress on a weakened tooth. Your dentist would recommend the best filling based on your tooth’s condition, size, location, and overall health.

After treatment, you could experience little sensitivity for a short time. This typically improves quickly. If sensitivity continues or becomes uncomfortable, contact our office so we could evaluate it.

Are Composite Fillings Right for You?

Composite fillings are an excellent option for many patients, but the best treatment depends on the size and location of the damage. A small or moderate cavity may be restored successfully with composite resin. Larger areas of damage may need a dental crown, inlay, or another type of restoration.

During your appointment at Kedzie Dental Clinic, we would examine your tooth and discuss your options clearly. Our goal is to recommend treatment that supports your oral health while respecting your comfort, budget, and smile goals.
