Tooth-Colored Fillings

Naturally invisible...

Unlike traditional fillings made from silver, mercury and other metals that may fracture teeth and may prove to be a health hazard, today's advanced materials allow us to deliver tooth-colored fillings that look completely natural and blend with your tooth structure to become virtually invisible.

For over 100 years, dentistry has restored teeth primarily with a material made of mercury and silver. It has done its job well, although we have had to live with its weaknesses. Those weaknesses consist of cracking teeth due to expansion of the material, and restorations turning black as the silver in the material corrodes.

Now we have many ways to provide tooth-colored restorations at Lexington Heights Dental. We can use adhesives to bond tooth parts that look and act like teeth. We can provide a bright, healthy and strong smile with these exciting new techniques in adhesive dentistry.
