When your silver fillings get damaged, you can talk to your dentist and get them replaced with tooth-coloured fillings. So are tooth-coloured fillings the best option? Here’s what you should know.
Tooth-coloured fillings
- bond directly to the teeth, making them efficient and more comfortable.
- have a natural appearance unlike other types of fillings.
- more durable and require less of your tooth’s healthy tissue be removed.
Your dentist will explain the benefits further and advice you on replacing silver fillings.
