I don't like the ugly black fillings in my mouth. What can I do to make those look better?

Those dark fillings are made of dental amalgam - a mercury silver filling material that turns dark and stains teeth as the years go by. What's even worse, is that mercury silver filling expands or grows larger with age, while the tooth underneath stays the same size.

This differential causes teeth to fracture. In fact, this is one of the reasons why our practice has chosen almost exclusively to use white fillings and /or porcelain restorations. For more information, please do not hesitate to call us at 305-271-0861
