And because the fillings are practically indistinguishable from your natural teeth, the result is a beautiful smile!
Replacing Amalgam Fillings with Tooth-Colored Restorations
1st Appointment: We safely remove the old filling and any additional decay. We take an impression of your teeth and send a model to the lab, where resin is used to replicate your natural tooth surface. We place a temporary onlay on the tooth.
