Fillings: Alloys and Composites
At Eckart Dental, patients have the option to select the type of filling to be used to restore a decayed area of the tooth.
The historical standard “silver filling” is a metal alloy. It has been proven successful for generations.
Newer on the market, and more esthetically pleasing, is the “white filling”. This type of restoration is a mixture of plastics and its technology of materials continues to improve in strength and longevity.
Dr. Eckart would be happy to help you decide which type of restoration is right for you.
