Tooth Fillings

Tooth-Colored Fillings Vs. Amalgam Fillings

Dental cavities are a common problem that is created when bacteria attack your enamel. In the past, dental cavities were filled with a material called amalgam, a combination of metals such as mercury or silver. At Highland Family Dental, we use tooth-colored fillings made with composite resin to fill and protect cavities. We can also remove old metal fillings and apply composite resin fillings for a more reliable and attractive treatment of cavities.
