Silver fillings can be replaced with white tooth fillings
 

Many people in the Stillwater area have had silver fillings placed into their teeth because they had "cavities". These silver fillings are called amalgams.  Amalgam fills the space where the decay in the tooth has been removed.

However, over time, the amalgam corrodes and leaks which blackens the silver, and many times the tooth. This is easily seen as soon as a patient opens his or her mouth and is usually a source of embarrassment for the patient.

At Steve Miller DDS Restorative Dental Care we can provide you with composite fillings that are made of a porcelain-like material that actually bonds to the tooth for a tight seal. They are strong and stain-resistant, and they are color-matched to the natural tooth, making them "invisible".

Composite fillings also lack the sensitivity that is often associated with silver amalgam fillings. They are especially suited for smaller cavities and for Stillwater area patients who may be allergic to metal fillings.

Please don't hesitate to call us at Steve Miller DDS Restorative Dental Care with any questions you may have about the benefits of replacing silver amalgam fillings with invisible composite fillings.
