Fillings are the most recognized restoration for teeth damaged by decay, and today’s advancements in dentistry have revolutionized the materials available to restore and strengthen teeth effected by decay. Tooth colored fillings can restore teeth to a natural appearance that is virtually undetectable among your natural teeth.

Fillings that are made from silver or amalgam mercury can not only create a dark, discolored smile but may also have very harmful effects on teeth. Amalgam fillings expanded and contracted with temperature changes, allowing the chance for bacteria to harbor between the filling and the natural tooth structure. This can lead to further decay, weakening of the tooth and possible fractures.

Here at Waukegan Family Dental, we provide you with non-metal, tooth colored fillings that look natural and blend in with your surrounding teeth. These tooth colored fills recreate an enamel appearance and are safer, stronger, and more enduring than the materials used in the past.
