Amalgam Replacement
Swap out old metal fillings for sleek, modern options that boost your smile’s look and durability effortlessly!
Whats is 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.
