Composite or tooth-coloured fillings in Oatley are the modern alternative to silver amalgam. Your dentist often recommends using them in your smile line for an aesthetically pleasing finish.
Tooth Coloured Fillings Compared with Amalgam
Tooth-Coloured Composite Dental Fillings
Tooth-coloured fillings are durable and shaded to match your enamel. Your dentist can sometimes remove less enamel when treating your cavity with composite because it is layered directly onto the tooth. Additionally, composite doesn’t shrink or expand when drinking hot or cold beverages, which can sometimes happen with amalgam.
Your dentist can also use composite filling material to bond your teeth. This means affordably concealing chips, stains, cracks, and more.
Amalgam Dental Fillings
Amalgam fillings can leave an unsightly line on the tooth over time. Your dentist may also remove more tooth material to treat your cavity when you choose amalgam. Patients often prefer tooth-coloured fillings for oral health and aesthetic benefits.
Your Oatley dentist can often remove damaged and silver fillings and replace them with our tooth-coloured option for a cosmetic boost.
