Replace Silver Fillings With White Tooth
Fillings At Barton C Allen DDS
Many people
in the Dallas 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.
Additionally, large amalgams may actually crack or weaken your tooth.
At Barton C Allen DDS 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 usually 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.
Our
office has not used dental amalgam for over 10 years.
Please don't hesitate to call Barton C Allen DDS at (214) 969-0280 with any questions you may have about the benefits of replacing silver amalgam fillings with
invisible
composite fillings.
