Resin Fillings
 Composite
resin fillings are tooth-colored
fillings that can be matched with natural

natural esthetics results.

Most
minor cavities are usually treated by removing
decay in teeth and replaced with dental fillings.
Amalgam
fillings (silver) restorations
were commonly used in the past. Metal fillings
were effective, but tend to blacken in color
over time. Some amalgam fillings contain
mercury and its safety has been in question
for a number of years.
