Composite fillings
The alternative to the traditional silver mercury fillings. It's made of a mixture of quartz filler in resin. It functions the same as the traditional silver fillings. It prevents your cavity from further exposure and decay.
Here is what these 2 different treatments look like:
|
|
|
| Silver filling | Composite filling |
Some pros:
- No mercury, that could only be a good thing. :)
- You can't tell that there is a filling, it restores the natural appearance of the teeth.
- It restores most of the original strength of a decayed tooth, unlike a silver filling which actually weakens the tooth.
- Silver filings require more removal of the healthy tooth to put the filling in, composite fillings don't.
Some cons:
- Gets weakened with excessive alcohol consumption.
- It costs more than the silver mercury fillings,
