Restore Your Smile with White Fillings
Many of us with a mouth full of silver fillings don’t realize that those fillings were not intended to last forever. Many now also believe that with the mercury content, silver fillings are less than ideal for our health. White composite fillings are bio-friendly and can be used to replace silver fillings. Here at our Miami Beach, FL dental office we go to great lengths to safely remove old amalgam fillings for the safety of our patients, our staff, and for the environment.

Amalgam Fillings vs. Composite Fillings
Many patients of Miami Beach, FL Bal Harbour Smiles have requested old amalgam (silver) filings to be replaced with white tooth-colored composite fillings; alone or in addition to cosmetic dentistry and smile makeoverwork to help restore their smile. White composite fillings are a simple and cost effective method that can transform your smile, making your teeth look natural and healthy.
The white composite filling material used is also used in cosmetic dental bonding, which can be a great way to improve your smile. The advantage of composite fillings is that the material can be molded like clay to dramatically improve the appearance of your smile in terms of the shade and shape of your teeth.
The Lifespan of Composite Fillings
Some studies have found little difference between the lifespan of composite fillings and amalgam fillings. Others have shown that composite fillings last for a slightly shorter period of time. When considering the differences between the two, it is best to ask your dentist for their opinion regarding lifespan. There are numerous factors that go into how long a filling may last that do not have to do with the material of the filling. Our team is happy to evaluate your individual case and help you make an informed decision based on your needs.
