Tooth Colored Fillings Kenmore WAComposite vs Amalgam FillingsAdditionally, some people suffer from allergies to metals, making these fillings a potential health hazard. For a number of years, metallic fillings were the only option available on the market. Today, with advances in cosmetic dentistry, your old metallic fillings can be replaced with tooth colored fillings, restoring beauty and reducing the risk of adverse reactions. Why Tooth Colored Fillings?Tooth colored fillings provide you with several benefits over typical amalgam fillings. Tooth colored fillings are matched precisely to the color of your tooth, making them much more discrete than black and silver fillings. Furthermore, tooth colored fillings are substantially more durable and secure. Metallic fillings can expand and contract with temperature fluctuations in your mouth. These dental fillings are packed into your teeth, not secured onto them, and as the fillings change in size, they can fall out or cause your tooth to break. This is one of the reasons we do not use mercury amalgam fillings. Tooth colored fillings are not affected by temperature fluctuations. They are placed into the cavity as well as over it, adhering to your natural tooth structure. Having the dual advantage of not changing size and being attached directly to the tooth, these fillings will not fall out or cause additional damage to your tooth. In recent years, the American Dental Association has voiced some concern over placing metal fillings in cavities in pregnant women and children.
