CAVITY FILLING in Orlando, FL

Ever since the Civil War, tooth fillings were made of a composite silver or a mixture of a couple different metals. This type of filling is still being done today. However, these kinds of materials always gave a brown and metallic-looking spot on the tooth. This could be easily picked out by people you were talking to and could be a cause for embarrassment.

Today’s technology has allowed for tooth fillings that are more natural looking and can seamlessly blend in with the rest of your mouth. Other than the obvious advantage of blending with your mouth better, using natural-looking tooth fillings have a few other advantages:

• They can be customized: Not everyone’s teeth are the bright white we all wish they were. Not only that, not every tooth in a person’s mouth is the same shade. When you use natural-looking tooth fillings, you are able to customize the look of your filling to match the color of the tooth it’s going on.
• They require less tooth to be removed: old-style fillings needed a much bigger gap to fill within the tooth than the more natural-looking fillings. This means less tooth needs to be removed during the procedure, which shortens the procedure time and prolongs tooth life.
