Comparing tooth-colored and silver fillings: A smart choice for your smile

Choosing the right type of filling can make a significant difference in your dental health and smile aesthetics. At New Orchard Dentistry, we offer tooth-colored fillings that provide a superior alternative to traditional silver fillings. Here’s why:

Aesthetic Appeal

Tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with natural teeth, providing an invisible repair, while silver fillings are visibly noticeable and can discolor gums over time.

Functionality

Tooth-colored fillings are non-toxic and free from harmful metals, ensuring overall health safety, whereas silver fillings contain mercury, which poses potential health risks.

Durability and Bonding

Tooth-colored fillings are durable and bond directly to the tooth, preventing bacterial invasion, whereas silver fillings can expand and contract, potentially causing tooth fractures.

Longevity and Integrity

Tooth-colored fillings maintain the tooth’s integrity by preserving more natural tooth structure, whereas silver fillings expand over time, which can compromise the tooth’s structural integrity.
