Composite fillings matched to the colour of the tooth, which do not expand and contract with temperature the way amalgam does.
In most cases a filling is the best way to restore a tooth affected by a cavity. We work in high-quality, tooth-coloured composite, which restores the health of the tooth without announcing that it has been restored.
Tooth-coloured fillings are made of a composite material matched to the natural colour of your teeth. Compared with traditional amalgam they resist temperature change and do not contract or expand, which is what causes breakage around older metal fillings over time.
Composite fillings are best for small to moderate cavities. They are strong, fracture-resistant and stand up to chewing pressure. Where a cavity is larger than a filling will safely hold, an inlay or onlay or a crown is the better answer, and we will say which and why.
Suspect a cavity? Call (914) 967-1242. Finding it early is the difference between a filling and a root canal.
