White tooth fillings to replace silver fillings
 Many
people in the Virginia Beach area have had silver fillings placed
into their teeth because they had "cavities". These
silver fillings are called
amalgams. Amalgam fills the space where the decay in the tooth has
been removed.However, over time, the amalgam corrodes and leaks
which blackens the silver, and many times the tooth. This is easily
seen as soon as a patient opens his or her mouth and is usually a
source of embarrassment for the patient.
At General and Implant Dentistry we can provide you with composite
fillings that are made of a porcelain-like material that actually bonds
to the tooth for a tight seal. They are strong and stain-resistant, and
they are color-matched to the natural tooth, making them "invisible".
Composite fillings also lack the sensitivity that is often associated
with silver amalgam fillings. They are especially suited for smaller
cavities and for patients who may be allergic to metal fillings.
Please don't hesitate to call General and Implant Dentistry at (757)
428-8747 with any questions you may have about the benefits of replacing
silver amalgam fillings with invisible composite fillings.
