In the past it was standard for dentists to fill cavities with a metal filling, called silver amalgam, which consists of mercury combined with silver, zinc, tin and copper. While these amalgam fillings are still common, advances in dentistry have led to the use of tooth-colored composite fillings. These composite fillings are rising in popularity for a number of reasons, specifically their aesthetics and versatility.  

The composite fillings can be made to match the color of your tooth, meaning they will appear natural and simply blend in with your teeth, unlike metal fillings. This will allow you to laugh, talk and smile confidently! Additionally, having a natural-looking smile, free of metal fillings, will help you create positive first impressions and feel comfortable talking to friends, family, and coworkers.  

In addition to the aesthetic benefits, tooth-colored dental fillings are also very durable, enabling normal functionality. The composite fillings are fracture resistant and can be used on all of your teeth, since they can handle pressure from chewing. Tooth-colored fillings are also preferred because they chemically bond directly to the tooth structure, which provides additional support for the tooth and a stronger hold for the filling. 

While there are benefits to both amalgam and composite fillings, the aesthetic appeal and durability of the tooth-colored composite fillings are factors you should definitely consider when choosing the best option for you!
