Tooth Coloured Fillings
Unlike amalgam fillings, porcelain restorations are not toxic, and completely safe for your body and retain the integrity of your tooth structure. Providing patients with a whiter, brighter more attractive smile, porcelain restorations look and feel like natural teeth. Historically, amalgam fillings were the most popular type of dental filling. Amalgam fillings are made up of fifty percent Mercury, a highly toxic substance. Over time it has also become apparent that amalgam fillings are responsible for the onset of cracks in teeth.
