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,

Composite resin bonding are not as strong as other types of restorations, like porcelain veneers. They typically last 4-7 years before they begin to chip and wear away. The bonding will have to be replaced at that point.
Zoom! laser teeth whitening
ZOOM! laser whitening is the easiest way to achieve a whiter, brighter smile -nothing whitens better or faster. It is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results. In only 45 minutes your teeth will be significantly whiter, as much as 6 to 8 shades.
We also do deep bleaching, which is a 2 visit treatment that takes care of stains that ZOOM! and BriteSmile can't take care of. The deep bleaching treatment can restore tetracycline stains.
Deep bleaching
This is an extensive treatment to take care extremely stained teeth. The results justified the time it takes for this treatment. This technique is so effective that it will even whiten tetracycline-stained teeth in a short time. The fee is the same as regular Zoom! teeth whitening. We set it this way to make sure you're happy with the result.
