In the past, metal amalgam was used to restore or fill dental cavities. However, due to the growing concern over mercury vapor release from this material and its health effects on patients, invisible dental fillings were developed.
Invisible dental fillings are made from porcelain and composite resin. These fillings are customized to match the natural color of your teeth. This makes porcelain dental fillings virtually invisible to the naked eye. This treatment is minimally invasive and an increasing number of patients who previously had metal amalgam fillings are now considering invisible fillings instead.
Invisible dental fillings in Newport News, VA are longer lasting and more durable than metal. Also, the color is long lasting as well, so there will be no fading or staining. Because the color matches the existing teeth it an excellent remedy for chipped and decayed teeth especially those that are more visible. In addition, porcelain and composite resin can instantly bond to the tooth.
