Long gone are the days when a cavity had to be filled with a dark, noticeable metal filling. Today, the modern standard for repairing decay is composite resin—a durable, tooth-colored material that blends seamlessly with your smile. Dr. Stephen Cho uses high-quality composite fillings to restore teeth in a way that is both healthy and aesthetically pleasing.
The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
Compared to old-fashioned amalgam (metal) fillings, modern composite fillings offer significant advantages:- Aesthetically Pleasing: The composite resin is carefully matched to the exact shade of your natural tooth, making the filling virtually invisible.
- Mercury-Free & Biocompatible: Composite fillings contain no metal or mercury, making them a safe and healthy choice for your body.
- Preserves Healthy Tooth Structure: The resin material bonds directly to the tooth, which means less of your healthy tooth structure needs to be removed to place the filling.
- Durable & Long-Lasting: Modern composites are strong and resilient, built to withstand the pressures of daily chewing.
Replacing Your Old Metal Fillings
Do you have old metal fillings that you feel self-conscious about? Dr. Cho can safely remove old, failing amalgam fillings and replace them with beautiful, tooth-colored composite restorations, instantly improving the appearance of your smile.A Simple, One-Visit Procedure
