Traditional amalgam restorations, which contain mercury, can cause the remaining tooth structure to crack when eating or drinking hot or cold items. With composite restorations, we bond the material to the tooth for extra strength. Because they are tooth colored, composite restorations look great and are polished to look and feel just like enamel

These teeth not only look better after having silver amalgam fillings replaced with composite fillings, they are also more resistant to fracture.
