Why Choose Composite Fillings?
Compared to traditional, silver amalgam restoration, Composites offer many advantages that make them the preferred choice of many dentists, including Dr. Pary.
Composite tooth restorations are more attractive than Amalgams. Custom-blended to match the color of your natural tooth, they are practically invisible. When you smile or laugh, you want to be noticed for your pearly whites and not the flash of your silver fillings.
Silver Amalgams require healthier tooth structure to be removed for them to be properly placed. They also contract with changes in temperature, potentially fracturing your tooth over time. By choosing stable Composites, more of your healthy tooth is kept intact and strengthened to restore the natural function of your smile.
Did you know that Amalgam fillings contain harmful mercury? Over time, trace amounts can leach from silver restorations into the surrounding oral tissue. White fillings are mercury-free, making them the safer, healthier choice.
