Why are silver/mercury fillings bad?

Fillings in the past were made partially of silver and partially of amalgam mercury, which led to a dark and discolored tooth that stood out from the rest of your smile. We are aware of how metal fillings make teeth sensitive to hot and cold in your mouth. These fillings also expanded and contracted with temperature changes, allowing bacteria to enter and cause decay, additionally weakening the tooth and causing possible fractures.

What is a tooth colored filling?

Today, Midland Texas dentist, Our team uses only the latest technology in tooth colored fillings to create a look that is both healthy and aesthetically pleasing. These metal-free restorations are also known as composite fillings, made from materials that are safer, stronger and more enduring by bonding directly to your tooth, which allows for more of the healthy structure to remain. Here at our Midland office, we can also custom-color the filling so that it blends in even more seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
