Restore your teeth with tooth-coloured composite fillings!
Besides being more aesthetic than amalgam (metal) fillings, the advantage of composite fillings is that they are gentler to the teeth.
This is because they require less drilling away of tooth structure than amalgam due to the fact that composite can be made to bond chemically to the tooth itself.
Furthermore, composite expands at a similar rate to the tooth upon being heated. By comparison, amalgam expands more than the tooth upon being heated. This means that your regular cups of tea or coffee are putting physical stress on your amalgam-filled teeth! Eventually, this could lead to fractures and chips of these teeth.
Enjoy your tea and coffee with composite fillings, don’t stress your teeth 🦷 💪🏼😇
