Why Are Tooth Colored Fillings Better Than the Ones I have?
If you still have metal-colored fillings, you may be wondering why you should go to the trouble of having them replaced. Besides improving your appearance (even if you think you fillings don’t show, they do), tooth colored fillings can improve and preserve the health of your teeth.
The mercury in old, metal fillings causes them to expand and contact with changes in temperature. Eating and drinking cause temperature changes in your mouth cause this expansion and contraction.
When your fillings expand and contract they can damage your tooth, causing fractures and/or letting decay get in. They can also make your teeth pain sensitive to heat and cold, even when they don’t cause damage.
Tooth colored fillings actually strengthen your teeth. They do not cause temperature sensitivity and they look and feel just like your natural teeth.
