Old Dentistry restoration has improved so many smiles.

Old dentistry - Today, we are at the point where metal fillings or caps are not needed any longer. Tooth-colored restorations now use porcelain to match the natural color of your teeth. Your old metal fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays or any other metal dental work can be replaced with more attractive options.

Over the years, the silver amalgam fillings breaks down at the margin where the filling meets the tooth. This break down of metal causes the "seal" to be broken, which allows decay causing bacteria to enter the area.

Tooth-colored restorations are strong and won't cause damage to surrounding teeth. They also eliminate any concern over mercury in the old metal fillings. What better combination could there be than a healthier and more natural looking smile?
