Even with good dental care, there’s always the chance of developing cavities in your lifetime. Fortunately, cavities can be effectively treated with fillings. At Patel and Dornhecker Dentistry in Cincinnati, Ohio, we encourage our patients to choose tooth-colored composite fillings over their silver amalgam counterparts due to their many benefits. If you’re unfamiliar with composite fillings, here’s a quick breakdown of the benefits they have to offer.
The most significant benefit of tooth-colored composite fillings is their white color, which blends beautifully with your natural teeth, making it difficult for anyone to tell you’ve had cavity treatment. Other benefits include:
Aesthetically speaking, tooth-colored composite fillings are more pleasing to look at as they complement the color of your natural teeth. When you laugh, talk or yawn, people only see attractive white teeth.
Tooth-colored fillings are safer for your teeth. They don’t expand and contract with temperature fluctuations like silver fillings. Therefore, there’s no pressure on your teeth that could cause cracking. Composite fillings are also mercury-free and pose no health risk. Over time, silver amalgam fillings may discolor or stain your teeth. That isn’t a risk with tooth-colored composite fillings.
