Do you remember what your teeth looked like before you had your first cavity? When you opened your mouth to laugh or yawn, the people with you could see only pearly white molar surfaces. (Unless, of course, you had been munching Oreos.)

If you are like many people, you started developing tooth decay fairly young and started receiving the ubiquitous silver amalgam fillings that were used by family dentists. As time passed, two fillings became three. Then three fillings may have become four. Now when you open wide—others see a mouthful of metal.

Fortunately, individuals with silver amalgam fillings can regain the smile of their youth. The replacement of silver fillings with composite tooth-colored fillings is a relatively inexpensive cosmetic dental procedure available at Dr. Bill Dorfman, DDS – Century City Aesthetic Dentistry that can transform a smile just as dramatically as more extensive cosmetic dental treatment.

Composite fillings are fabricated with a mixture of glass or quartz and resin which results in a natural tooth-colored material. They are quite strong when bonded to the tooth with adhesive.

Hopefully, you don’t have a new cavity. But if you do, you can start off with a white composite filling. In addition to the cosmetic merits over silver, the preparation requires the removal of a less healthy tooth structure.

A conservative (as possible) restoration at Dr. Bill Dorfman, DDS – Century City Aesthetic Dentistry leaves you with more of nature’s superior dental material—your own enamel and dentin.
