Tooth Colored Fillings - Cosmetic Dentistry for Murrieta

If your teeth are filled with dark, gray metal fillings, you've got more to worry about than an appearance compromised by dark metal. These metallic fillings can damage teeth because they are temperature sensitive, meaning they expand with heat and contract with cold. This movement weakens the tooth, leading to fractures, where bacteria can enter and cause further decay. Metal fillings also contain mercury, which may have negative long-term health effects. Our Murrieta cosmetic dentist focuses on restorations that work with the body, therefore, we do not use metal fillings.

Instead, our Temecula and Murrieta cosmetic dentistry patients can expect tooth-colored composite fillings. They are a safer, strong and more attractive and enduring alternative to metal. They conservatively restore your teeth to strength and your smile to beauty, while preserving more natural tooth structure than is possible with metal fillings.

To ensure the continued brilliance of your new smile we can recommend our take-home whitening treatment.
