Tooth Colored Fillings

 

When a tooth has decay or has been damaged, a dental restoration is needed to "restore" the tooth to its previous healthy condition. A dental filling is one of the most common and well-known types of restorations. A dental filling is used to repair decayed or damaged tooth surfaces. Most people have a few fillings in their mouth.

If you have old silver amalgam fillings, we can replace them with nearly-invisible tooth-colored fillings. These fillings are made out of a strong composite resin. Many of our patients have replaced their old silver fillings with fillings matched to their teeth. You can improve your smile instantly and relatively inexpensively by getting rid of the "silver or metal."

Another reason some of our patients have had their old silver fillings replaced is because they are concerned about the possible heavy metal toxicity of the mercury in the silver.

If you would like to replace your amalgam (silver) fillings, call us at 314-965-3500 to schedule a consultation. We are currently accepting new patients and would be happy to show you around our dental office and introduce you to our friendly team.

Smile – it increases your face value!
