Fixing Cavities With Tooth-Colored Restorations
No More Gray Teeth in Tulsa!
At the Tulsa dental practice Canady Dental, we restore cavities and repair tooth decay with white fillings; we don’t place silver-mercury amalgam fillings ever. Why?
Not only are metal fillings ugly, turning your teeth dark and gray, they can actually damage your teeth.
Metal fillings react to temperature changes; they expand when exposed to heat and contract when exposed to cold. All this movement can weaken the walls of your tooth, causing your tooth to crack or fracture. The movement can also create a space between the metal filling and the tooth, allowing bacteria to get in under the filling and cause more decay!
Our white fillings virtually disappear in your teeth and are made of a composite resin. The resin is not temperature sensitive, and doesn’t move in your tooth.
The result? A safer, stronger, more enduring restoration that looks like your natural tooth.
