Tooth-Colored Fillings

Silver metal fillings are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Today's cosmetic dentistry near Tacoma offers solutions that have replaced them with more natural-looking tooth-colored fillings to provide amazing and healthy smiles.

Amalgam fillings also require removal of more healthy tooth structure, while tooth-colored composite filings offer conservative treatment and minimal tooth preparation.

This explains why our Tacoma area dentistry provider, Dr. Egger, does not use the dark, unsightly metal to treat cavities and repair cracked or broken teeth. Instead, he opts to provide tooth-colored fillings matched to the color of your existing teeth and easily bonded to provide additional protection against future decay.

With Dr. Egger, you can enjoy superior protection and naturally-blending materials, for your own unforgettable smile.

A Healthier, More Visually-Appealing Treatment

Composite fillings are also a better option for the function of your teeth. Bonded to your tooth, this material does not expand and contract as silver fillings (amalgams) do, reducing the potential for cracks and fractures of the filled tooth.

Many people have health concerns related to amalgams, which include potential hazards pertaining to the mercury in the metal filling, as well as allergic reactions to it. You can count on safe dental materials and Tacoma area dentistry from Dr. Egger.
