Natural Color Esthetic Fillings

Traditional ‘silver fillings’ (amalgam restorations) have been around for over 150 years. We’ve all seen them, most of us have a number of them in our teeth and they are immediately recognised when we smile. In this day and age, amalgam restoration have lost popularity for more than esthetic reasons. On January 19th 2013 the World Health Organizations (WHO) made public the approval of the ‘international treaty on ‘mercury’, calling for a “phasing-down“ of the use of dental amalgam due to it’s content of mercury, a toxic compound, and the risk of it’s release to the environment.

‘White fillings’ (esthetic restorations) have been around in different variations since the 1970s and have come a long way since then. Today’s tooth-colored fillings provide good durability and resistance to fracture, restore teeth to their natural look and can even help teeth heal from certain types of decay.

At his Tel Aviv clinic Dr. Miller performs amalgam free restorations using the double layered esthetic restoration technique:

The inner core of the filling is placed using fluoride glass which strengthens the dentin around the filling and can even eliminate the need for root canal treatments in certain cases. The outer shell of the filling is placed using hybrid composite which provides durability and natural shine.

This technique allows for minimal natural tooth removal, long lasting esthetic restorations and is a great choice for Smile Improvement.
