Amalgam Replacement
Amalgam fillings, while once a popular choice for treating cavities, are noticeable due to their metallic appearance and may not blend well with natural teeth. Over time, amalgam fillings can weaken the tooth structure and, in some cases, contribute to cracks or fractures. Replacing amalgam fillings with tooth-colored composite or porcelain improves the appearance and can provide better protection for the tooth.
Experience Excellence at West Cobb Dental Studio!
At West Cobb Dental Studio, your health and comfort are our priority. We start by carefully isolating the tooth to protect surrounding areas during the removal of the amalgam filling. Using advanced tools and techniques, we remove the old filling and thoroughly clean the cavity. A durable, natural-looking composite or porcelain material is then used to restore the tooth’s function and appearance. During the appointment, our team ensures you feel comfortable and informed at every step.
