As an alternative to metal amalgam fillings we provide natural tooth colored fillings, also known as nonmetallic composite fillings. Many times large amounts of healthy tooth structure needs to be removed when prepping the tooth for a metal amalgam filling. Over time this may cause the tooth to become weak, break or crack which may necessitate the placement of a crown. Composite fillings are bonded to a tooth so only the diseased part of the tooth needs to be removed allowing the tooth to maintain much of its strength and integrity.
