COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Composite Tooth Colored Fillings:

In the past, when an old filling wore out, or decay was discovered beneath it, your only option was to get another metal filling. This often meant further damage of the natural tooth to place an even larger filling. "Silver fillings" also contain mercury, which has made the headlines because of its toxicity.

Fortunately, we no longer need to be concerned with this issue. Dr. Lederman creates tooth colored fillings from an advanced material called composite “resin”. This material can replace dark silver fillings and make your teeth look natural once again. Best of all, you’ll experience none of the drawbacks of silver fillings, like the expanding and contracting of metal, which can cause the tooth to crack and break.
