Tooth coloured (composite) fillings
are proving more favourable today over the amalgam "silver"
fillings.
The silver fillings are not only unsightly
as they soon turn black, but they have mercury in them.
Modern filling materials are strong
and are very long lasting. These are plastic materials,
which are condensed into the cavity and hardened by
special light.
Ceramic Inlays
These are alternative to composite
fillings. After the cavity is prepared, an impression
is taken and sent to the laboratory where a ceramic
filling is constructed and is then returned to us. The
inlay is then cemented into the cavity. These are stronger
than the white fillings, and restore the tooth to its
original shape colour and size, and function to a better
degree.
