At A Smile 4 U, we provide comprehensive tooth filling services to help restore your teeth’s function and appearance. We don’t use mercury and specialize in replacing old silver and mercury fillings with modern, tooth-colored options that look natural and strengthen weak teeth. 

 

Whether you need to replace an old filling or get a new one, we provide high-quality, gentle care for a healthier, more beautiful smile. 

 

Why Choose Tooth-Colored Restorations? 

While functional, silver fillings have several drawbacks. Over time, they can weaken the tooth structure, expand, contract, and even split, which may lead to further damage or new cavities.  Additionally, silver fillings are noticeable and can cause staining on teeth and gums. 

 

At A Smile 4 U, we replace silver fillings with tooth-colored restorations that are aesthetically pleasing and much stronger. 

 

  • Aesthetically pleasing: Tooth-colored restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth so no one will notice your filling. 
  • Strengthens weakened teeth: Unlike silver fillings, tooth-colored restorations bond to the tooth, adding strength to areas that may have been weakened by decay or old fillings. 
  • Fluoride protection: Resin fillings contain fluoride, which helps prevent future decay and promotes better oral health. 
  • Healthier for gums: Tooth-colored fillings don’t require placement at the gum line, which is healthier for your gums in the long term. 

 

The Process of Replacing Silver Fillings with Tooth-Colored Restorations 

Replacing silver fillings with tooth-colored restorations requires two visits to A Smile 4 U. Here’s how the process works: 

 

First Appointment 

 

  • The old silver filling and any decayed tissue are removed. 
  • We take an impression of your teeth and send it to the lab to create a custom restoration. 
  • A temporary onlay is placed to protect the tooth while the final restoration is made. 

 

Second Appointment 

 

  • The temporary onlay is removed, and a conditioning gel is applied to prepare the tooth for the new filling. 
  • The new resin onlay is bonded to the tooth using a high-intensity light and cement. 
  • After it sets, we polish the filling to match the natural look of your teeth, providing a strong, durable restoration that will last for years. 

 

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Restorations 

Tooth-colored restorations provide several benefits beyond aesthetics. Some reasons why this type of filling is ideal for many patients include: 

 

  • Superior fit and strength: The resin used in tooth-colored restorations bonds tightly to your tooth, offering a secure fit and preventing further decay. 
  • Preserves tooth structure: Since these restorations can be used when a large portion of the tooth has been lost, they help preserve more of your natural tooth. 
  • Long-lasting protection: Resin onlays protect your teeth from future decay and strengthen them, so they’re a more durable solution than silver fillings.
