Caries, decay, and external trauma can destroy your teeth. Dentists are able to prevent such destruction and loss of teeth through restorations. Restorations create a healthy tooth using dental restorative material such as gold, silver, composites, porcelain, or a variety of other materials. Many of these materials are not designed to blend in with the appearance of your natural teeth. To avoid the look of having a “metal mouth,” cosmetic dentists are able to provide natural looking options.

 Tooth colored fillings, called white fillings or dental composites, are designed to match your shade of tooth color and look indistinguishable from any other tooth. The dental composite consists of a resin-based matrix and an inorganic filler. These combine to give strength and resistance from wear. This allows for quality restoration without sacrificing appearance of your smile.
