Replace Silver Fillings With White Tooth Fillings At Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego
 

Many people in the Lake Oswego area have had silver fillings placed into their teeth because they had "cavities". These silver fillings are called amalgams.  Amalgam fills the space where the decay in the tooth has been removed.

However, over time, the amalgam corrodes and leaks which blackens the silver, and many times the tooth. This is easily seen as soon as a patient opens his or her mouth and is usually a source of embarrassment for the patient.

At Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego we can provide  you with composite fillings that are made of a porcelain-like material that actually bonds to the tooth for a tight seal. They are strong and stain-resistant, and they are color-matched to the natural tooth, making them "invisible".

Composite fillings also lack the sensitivity that is often associated with silver amalgam fillings. They are especially suited for smaller cavities and for patients who may be allergic to metal fillings.

Please don't hesitate to call Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego at 503 675-7300 with any questions you may have about the benefits of replacing silver amalgam fillings with invisible composite fillings.
