Composite resin fillings, white fillings, and tooth-colored fillings are all names synonymous with the newest dental fillings that have replaced traditional amalgam fillings colored in silver or gold. They are preferred by patients and dentists alike because aside from being natural-looking, they are also more durable.
The composite resin used in making invisible dental fillings replace the mixture of silver, copper, tin, zinc, copper, and mercury. The invisible dental fillings that we use at Oyster Point Dental in Newport News, VA are made from high-strength composite resin material that can be custom-colored in order to match the hue of your natural teeth. This makes the fillings nearly invisible not just to you but also to anyone else. Additionally, these invisible dental fillings actually bond to the surface of the teeth thereby providing support to the surrounding tooth structure. This goes to show that the invisible dental fillings not only fill the teeth but also help in preventing breakage in the tooth structures.
