WHAT ARE TOOTH COLOR FILLINGS?
Tooth color fillings are made from composite resin. It’s a bonded material. Composite fillings can be color-matched to resemble the shade of your teeth, which gives them an aesthetic advantage over silver fillings.
Dentist don’t need to drill out much of your tooth for these fillings. The conservative nature of white fillings preserves your tooth structure. They are suitable for patients allergic to metal and versatile enough to treat front (anterior) and back (posterior) teeth. White fillings don’t change in size despite temperature changes.
WHAT ARE SILVER FILLINGS?
Also known as amalgam fillings, they are created by a combination of metals mainly copper, silver, tin, and mercury. Silver fillings are durable and preferred for the back (posterior) teeth. Main disadvantage is they don’t match the color of your natural teeth. They are visible when you open your mouth.
