Dental Implants
Dental implants are small dental appliances that are inserted into the upper and lower jaws in an effort to restore a mouth that has little or no restorable teeth.

Dental Filings
Filings are used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay. One type of filings is dental amalgams, also known as silver filings. They contain a mixture of mercury and an alloy of silver, tin and copper. Another type of filings is composite resins, also known as white filings. They contain a mixture of tooth colored plastic filled with glass. They are used primarily for cosmetic improvements by changing the color of the teeth and/or reshaping disfigured teeth.
