Natural tooth-colored fillings were created as
an alternative to traditional metal dental fillings (or Amalgam fillings).
Tooth fillings that are colored to look like a natural tooth are known as
Composite Resin Dental Fillings and are made of a plastic dental resin.
Composite Resin Dental Fillings are not only strong, durable, and offer a
more aesthetically pleasing result, they avoid the use of mercury found in
traditional metal fillings.
