Previously, most dental fillings were composed primarily of gold, amalgam and other materials that left visible dark spots on teeth. Today, dental fillings may fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry, because, not only are they strongly bonded to teeth and made from durable porcelain and composite materials, but, they closely match the colour of your teeth, thus maintaining the natural appearance of your teeth and smile.
Technologic advances in natural looking, tooth coloured dental materials, make todays dental treatments more durable and predictable than in years past. Additionally, dentists are now using more conservative cosmetic dentistry techniques to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, depending on your specific clinical situation.
Cosmetic dentistry offers many options for people who are unhappy with their smile. If you are one of these people, we encourage you to learn more about the various treatments available and would be happy to meet with you and review your particular dental concerns.- LVI - Las Vegas Institute.
