Tooth-colored Fillings are Your Treatment of Choice
Even with excellent at-home hygiene and in-office care, cavities happen. A chipped tooth decays. Enamel wears thin, and bacteria invades your tooth structure. Plaque accumulates in the deeply grooved surfaces of a molar.
Fortunately, restorative dentistry has used amalgam or gold fillings for decades to repair tooth structure and to allow for natural bite and function. However, both dentists and their patients have desired a filling material that matches tooth color and requires less removal of tooth structure surrounding a cavity.
