Modern dentistry has continuously improved not only the efficiency of the procedure, but also the materials used. As Dr. Weitzman is a master ceramist, he knows exactly how to make tooth replacement look and feel as natural as possible.

There are the types of materials used for fillings:

• Gold
• Silver
• Glass ionomer
• Porcelain
• Composite

Each of these materials has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Your decision will rely heavily on your personal aesthetic preferences are, how hard you bite, the cavities location, your budget, and several other factors. For example, while silver fillings may be the strongest and longest-lasting, composite fillings may have the most aesthetic appeal, as these can be matched to the color of your own teeth. Dr. Weitzman can discuss these issues with you and make a recommendation based on those factors.
