But today, dentist like <b>Dr. Jeff Nichols<\/b> are more likely to offer <b>tooth-colored fillings<\/b>, in part because of how well they blend in with the color of teeth.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are other reasons that dentist are offering <b>tooth-colored fillings<\/b> over amalgam fillings. First, amalgam fillings are made of metal, which expands and contracts, causing cracks or leaks and putting the patient at risk of bacterial reinvasion. Second, amalgam fillings often contain a small amount of mercury\u2014not enough to be harmful, but it\u2019s there nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tooth-colored fillings<\/b>, by comparison, don\u2019t contain mercury and, in fact, aren\u2019t made of metal at all. That also means they won\u2019t expand or contract. As a result, they\u2019re more supportive of the tooth\u2019s natural structure, which means you get to keep more of your natural smile.<\/p>\n<p>Do you need help treating a cavity with a <b>tooth-colored filling<\/b>? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierwalkindental.com\/contact-us.html\">Call<\/a> or visit <b>Premier Walk-In Dental<\/b> in <b>Rockledge<\/b> today.
