White tooth fillings to replace silver fillings
 

However, over time, the amalgam corrodes and leaks which blackens the silver, and many times the tooth. This is easily seen as soon as a patient opens his or her mouth and is usually a source of embarrassment for the patient.

At Dr. Stickney's office we can provide  you with composite fillings that are made of a porcelain-like material that actually bonds to the tooth for a tight seal. They are strong and stain-resistant, and they are color-matched to the natural tooth, making them "invisible".

Composite fillings also lack the sensitivity that is often associated with silver amalgam fillings. They are especially suited for smaller cavities and for patients who may be allergic to metal fillings.

We use the latest in time test biocompatible dental materials to restore your teeth. We take precautions when removing amalgam to minimize your exposure to the mercury in the dental amalgam.

Please don't hesitate to call Dr. Stickney's office at 206 728-1330 with any questions you may have about the benefits of replacing silver amalgam fillings with invisible composite fillings.
