Tooth colored fillings for
restored appearance and function

Composite/resin fillings can be used to restore your teeth to their natural appearance and create a near perfect color match with your surrounding teeth. Composite fillings also bond better, helping to restore the natural strength of your teeth.

Dr. Stannard has not used silver/mercury fillings in his dental practice for many years because they have been found to darken the teeth and act like a wedge, which often leads to tooth fractures.

If you have an old silver filling that needs to be replaced, it`s a good time to replace all restorations in that arch. The difference between an arch with silver fillings and an arch with white bonded filling replacements is remarkable! Your smile will immediately brighten up once the gray silver fillings are removed.

The photographs below show how the back two teeth, which used to be filled with dark silver-mercury fillings, are transformed by the placement of beautiful bonded restorations.
