Problem
| Before |

 |
| After |
- The molars have old silver fillings.
- The edges of the fillings are not sealed. This allows food and bacteria underneath the fillings, causing decay.
- More extensive restorations may be necessary if the decay is not treated.
- The old silver fillings make the teeth appear gray in color.
Solution
- The old silver fillings, as well as all underlying decay all removed.
- Composite bonding material is placed to fill the space where tooth structure is missing.
- The new restorations keep the teeth healthy by providing a seal against the seepage of food and bacteria.
- Composite bonding materials blend into the natural shade of the tooth, eliminating the gray cast caused to the old fillings. The result is a natural and more you the smile.
