Fillings That Will Last for Years

For hundreds of years, dental fillings have been used to restore teeth. Fillings are placed in teeth where tooth structure has been removed due to decay or fracture. In recent years, filling materials have been substantially improved thanks to many technological advancements. 

Silver amalgam was the dominant choice years ago, but today we have several other options for tooth restoration including tooth-colored composite filling materials, cementable resins and porcelains.

However, at Willow Cove Dental, we do not offer amalgam (silver) fillings. As a metal, amalgam fillings expand and contract over time when exposed to hot/cold. This eventually can lead to fractures in the teeth. Research has come a long way to replace this old-fashioned filling material with resin composite fillings. Resin is found to be as hard as amalgam but resistant to temperature changes and is also tooth-colored to mimic the look of your natural teeth.
