They not only perform the basic function of filling a tooth, but also restore a person&#39;s teeth back to their natural look. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilespringfield.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\" target=\"_blank\">Cosmetic fillings<\/a> will have you teeth looking and feeling great.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<strong>Composite White<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tComposite white filling is made of a synthetic combination resin, which has a natural color to match your teeth. They are considered to be direct fillings, meaning they are done in one dental visit.&nbsp; This type of treatment is suitable for people whose teeth have very little decay and a small to medium cavity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tCosmetics fillings are beneficial in that they are much more natural looking and can give you the confidence of a great smile. Using these types in place of silver amalgam also removes any possibility of mercury exposure that many believe to be harmful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilespringfield.com\/about-us.html\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. VanderMolen<\/a> is your source for beautiful cosmetic fillings.
