We are an amalgam-free office and use a range of tooth coloured filling materials. 

BEFORE

These teeth are typical of the average NZ mouth -  big old amalgam fillings, some larger white composite fillings and smaller black fillings with cracks in teeth.

Amalgam contributes to stress fractures in teeth and we commonly find internal fractures in teeth with moderately sized silver fillings.  Composite or plastic fillings are not always the best solution in big holes either.  In this case we designed 3 porcelain overlays to replace worn old fillings, deal with cracks and add strength.
