In the past, amalgam fillings (silver) were the solution. Today, tooth-coloured filings (white filings) are very popular and a good alternative, especially in your smile line-the teeth that show when you smile, speak, and laugh.
They are made of a composite resin material that is coloured to match your teeth. When your dentist fills a cavity with this material, it provides a more aesthetic look across your smile line compared with silver or amalgam fillings.
