| Description: | For many years, metal amalgam fillings have been effectively used to repair teeth affected by decay. Although the results are strong and long-lasting, the silver colour means that they are very easy to notice. This can leave people feeling self-conscious when they open their mouth to talk or laugh. White Fillings are a popular alternative to the traditional metal option. The composite material is coloured to match your natural tooth shade, making the repair difficult for others to notice. The composite has an added benefit of bonding to the tooth making them as strong as amalgam fillings. At Bushey Dental Surgery, we offer both tooth-coloured fillings and traditional amalgam fillings. Your dentist will be more than happy to discuss the advantages of both options and advise you on the instances in which one may be more suitable than the other. |
