White Dental fillings Denver Dentist
Over the years there has been many different types of dental fillings. Our Denver Dentists feels the most common dental filling over the past 100 years has been a material we refer to as amalgam. Dental amalgam is a mixture of silver and mercury that produces a silver type of dental filling. In time the silver tarnishes... expands... and turns black. This material ends up looking like you have black holes in your teeth. The advantage of the material is it is easy to use... relatively inexpensive and moderately long lasting. The disadvantage is it looks ugly and "may" contribute to fracture of your tooth.
History of white dental fillings Denver Dentist
Like computers white dental fillings have improved over the years. Initially this type of material was weak and washed out of the filling. Over the years not only has the color improved but the longevity has increased tremendously.
Minimally Invasive dentistry Denver dentist
Our Denver Dentist defines minimally invasive dentistry as the ability to address the dental decay or fracture and remove only the diseased tooth structure. Amalgam fillings require a certain depth, width and mechanical retention in order to be effective. White of composite dental fillings have fewer design requirements. In part... this is due to the fact that they are bonded to the tooth. It should be noted that mechanical retention in select cases in necessary as the forces of your bite could exceed the bond strength of the white dental filling material.
