Why Tooth-Colored Fillings Look Natural
Composite resin is available in a wide range of shades that Dr. Velkovski matches precisely to the color of your existing tooth enamel. The material is sculpted directly on the prepared tooth surface, shaped to match the natural contours, and polished to a smooth finish. The result blends seamlessly with the surrounding tooth – from both the patient’s perspective and everyone else’s. This matters most for fillings placed in the front teeth or in other areas visible when you smile.
Aesthetic and Structural Benefits
Beyond appearance, composite resin offers structural advantages over amalgam. It bonds directly to tooth structure, which means less healthy enamel needs to be removed during preparation. It does not contain mercury. And because composite expands and contracts at a rate closer to natural tooth structure than metal, it is less likely to cause cracking in the surrounding tooth over time. For patients replacing old silver fillings that are failing or cracked, tooth-colored composite is the clear upgrade.
