White Fillings
Due to advancements in dental technology and safer dental practices, mercury and metal-based restoration solutions are not offered in many dental offices. Smiles By Sands is no exception.
While some dentists may still offer metal as an inexpensive solution to repairing tooth decay, Dr. Jason Sands understands the benefits of white composite fillings and porcelain fillings as the best upgrade in functionality, appearance, and your future health.
White composite fillings have no metal based additives. Thus, the potential for health issues due to mercury in the tooth repair materials are no longer an issue. The white fillings are made of glass or quartz materials mixed with a resin solution. The composite is determined for each individual patient, as the mixture is tinted to match the coloration of the surrounding teeth.
In addition, white composite fillings offer these benefits:
- Because the white composite fillings adhere to the original tooth better than the old-fashioned metal fillings, less of the original tooth has to be removed to repair the damage of decay, making the procedure less invasive and healthier for your teeth.
- White composite fillings are resistant to temperature changes. Unlike metal fillings, the material will not expand and cause erosion to the neighboring teeth.
- Cosmetically, white composite filling have the translucent look and texture of the original teeth. So, only you will know if you have extensive dental repair and restoration.
