White Restorations

New technology, new options
Silver and gold fillings used to be our only choices for restoring your damaged or decayed teeth. But advances in dental materials technology have created strong new synthetic tooth-colored restorative materials that help you look your best.

A beautiful choice
If you decide you'd like your tooth restored with a white material, we can use either porcelain or composite resin, which is a plastic-like substance. We'll carefully match the chosen material to your natural teeth, so the restoration will blend in well.

Strong and durable
Both porcelain and composite resin bond securely to your tooth, so the restorations are extremely strong and durable. Also, because they are bonded, we can be more conservative when we prepare your tooth for the filling, so you retain more of your natural, healthy tooth.
