Morris Family Dentistry

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wished your old silver filling didn't stick out so much? Many people have fillings that were placed years ago and have performed well, but now they don't look like their natural teeth. The distinction between metal and enamel can draw attention to places you don't want it to. Traditional amalgam fillings sometimes require removing more healthy tooth structure to keep in place, in addition to how they look. When the temperature changes, they also expand and contract, which might put stress on the tooth over time. The fillings we employ at Morris Family Dentistry are the same color as your teeth, so they look natural. These restorations are made of composite resin and carefully tinted to match the adjacent teeth. In many situations, the substance adheres directly to the tooth, helping us preserve more of your healthy enamel. The best thing about fillings that match the color of your teeth is that they look and feel like actual teeth. We want to provide you with restorative care that improves both your teeth and your appearance. If you have a cavity that needs to be filled or a filling that needs to be replaced, we can help. You can learn more about tooth-colored fillings by calling Morris Family Dentistry to schedule an appointment.
