White bonded fillings are aesthetically impressive and protect teeth from fracturing
The most obvious advantage of a white bonded filling (composite) over a silver (amalgam) filling is improved aesthetics. The different shades of composite allow the dentist to match the restoration with your tooth so that it’s nearly invisible. Secondly, composites strengthen the tooth’s structure by a micromechanical bond to the tooth that allows superior adhesion of the restoration to the tooth. Unlike amalgam fillings, composites eliminate the need for the dentist to create retentive features by grinding on healthy tooth structure. Finally, composites act like a glue by holding the tooth together, as opposed to silver fillings. Since amalgams are composed of metals, they expand and contract with temperature, causing teeth to crack and fracture.
The superior qualities of white bonded fillings make them the choice of Clear Creek Dental.
