Natural-Looking Fillings

For years, the only alternative to repair cavities was mercury amalgam fillings. In recent years, however, more and more dentists have turned to natural-looking porcelain fillings. In his metal-free practice, Dr. G. Gary Green uses natural-looking fillings to repair cavities.

Traditional amalgam fillings present several disadvantages, including:

  • They are visible and obvious and might be perceived as unattractive
  • They can eventually cause discoloration of the tooth
  • Metal fillings are conductive, sometimes causing discomfort
  • Metal fillings can expand and contract and eventually lead to cracks in the surrounding tooth
  • Mercury in amalgam fillings could cause health issues


On the other hand, porcelain fillings offer several advantages. These advantages include:

  • The porcelain material can be exactly color-matched to your teeth
  • Porcelain can strengthen the existing tooth
  • Porcelain fillings don’t contain mercury
  • Porcelain is not a conductive material


Whether you're getting new fillings or having old, amalgam fillings replaced with natural-looking porcelain fillings, porcelain can give you a more attractive look and a healthier mouth overall.

In the Newark, New Jersey area, G. Gary Green, DMD, has a metal-free practice and uses exclusively porcelain material for fillings. For more information on porcelain fillings for new dental work or to replace old, metal fillings, please contact Dr. Green's office.
