They\u2019re strong and affordable\u2014but <a href=\"https:\/\/ydesign.in\/project\/service-category\/cosmetic-dentistry\/\">dentistry<\/a> has evolved. Today, white (composite) fillings are becoming the preferred choice, and here\u2019s why.<br \/>The Downside of Silver Fillings<br \/>Silver fillings are made of a mixture of metals, including about 50% mercury, along with silver, tin, and copper. While durable, they come with drawbacks:<br \/>\u2022 \u274c Noticeable dark color that shows when you talk or smile.<br \/>\u2022 \u274c Require removing healthier tooth structure to stay in place.<br \/>\u2022 \u274c Metals expand and contract with temperature changes, which can cause small cracks in the tooth over time.<br \/>\u2022 \u274c do not bond to the tooth\u2014they simply \u201csit\u201d inside, relying on mechanical retention.<\/p>\n<p>White Fillings are the\u2002Best Choice<\/p>\n<p>Composite\u2002fillings consist of a tooth-colored resin that matches the appearance of your natural teeth. But the advantages are\u2002much more than skin-deep:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> \u2705 Save tooth\u2014less drilling means more of\u2002your natural tooth is preserved.<\/li>\n<li> \u2705 bonding technology: the\u2002filling bonds to the tooth, providing a tight seal between the enamel and the dentin, which helps prevent further decay.<\/li>\n<li> \u2705 No metals\u2014ideal\u2002stainless steel-free, mercury-free, and no rusting with longer service time. Walk Good.<\/li>\n<li>\u2002\u2705 Multi-Use \u2013 works on front and back teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both treatments can repair a tooth, but composite fillings are a\u2002modern, safe, and more natural-looking option. These days, patients are selecting from them as much for strength and gum health as\u2002for how they look.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Considering the removal of old\u2002silver fillings? Ask <a href=\"https:\/\/ydesign.in\/project\/\">Azura Dental<\/a> about making the switch to\u2002white fillings and experience a stronger, healthier, and more confident smile.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK535155\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why More Patients Are Choosing White Fillings over Silver For decades, silver (amalgam) fillings were the most common way to treat cavities.
