Dental fillings in Downtown Manhattan, for example, are not only strong and durable, but restore the look of natural teeth and are a very aesthetically pleasing option for cavity treatment. Traditional dental restoratives include amalgam and composite. Newer dental fillings include ceramic and plastic compounds that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Depending on the extent of decay and the tooth's location, we may recommend a specific type of filling material. Used by dentists for more than a century, dental amalgam is the most thoroughly researched and tested restorative material among all those in use. Dental amalgam is a stable alloy made by combining elemental mercury, silver, tin, copper and possibly other metallic elements. Although dental amalgam continues to be a safe, commonly used restorative material, some concern has been raised because of its mercury content. If this is a concern of yours, or if you’d like more aesthetically pleasing fillings, then tooth-colored composite fillings may be a better option. Composite fillings are a mixture of glass or quartz filler in a resin medium that produces a tooth-colored filling. They are sometimes referred to as composites or filled resins. Composite fillings provide good durability and resistance to fracture in small-to-mid size restorations that need to withstand moderate chewing pressure. Less tooth structure is removed when the dentist prepares the tooth, and this may result in a smaller filling than that of an amalgam. Composites can also be "bonded" or adhesively held in a cavity, often allowing the dentist to make a more conservative repair to the tooth.
Our patients expect and receive the finest care with a gentle touch each and every time they see us. In the 21st century, dentistry has evolved into a science that maintains function, form, health, and a beautiful smile for a lifetime. Let your search for
