HOW TO HIDE FILLINGS

If you are concerned about the appearance of your smile because you have a number of metal fillings (especially those that have darkened with age), here are a number of suggestions to hide your fillings:

• Don’t laugh
• Don’t smile
• Don’t talk
• If you must talk, cover your mouth with a coffee cup, bouquet of flowers, or other handy object
• Don’t eat in public

In other words, trying to hide your fillings is a futile effort that will likely significantly diminish your quality of life. If you are self-conscious about your dental fillings, the best solution is to replace old metal fillings with new tooth-colored fillings that you do not need to hide. These fillings can be either hardened composite resin or porcelain inlays or onlays that have the natural luster of dental enamel.

Often it only takes one appointment to replace your old metal fillings with new tooth-colored ones that let you laugh, talk, smile, and eat with confidence.
