Question:
Is there anyway to cover up my fillings?
Ok, when I was younger I drank lots and lots of soda which ultimately cost me 20 cavities. I'm so ashamed. I'm so embarrassed when I laugh or talk people I think people are only staring at my teeth because all you see are silver fillings. Is there any way that maybe a Dentist can cover them up somehow? I've heard of "white fillings" but someone told me they only do those for the front teeth because they don't bond the teeth very well and it is also not covered by insurance.
Answers:
you can have your amalgam (silver) fillings replaced for white fillings (composite).......although it is an expensive and time consuming exercise.
These days white fillings bond very well to all teeth....every dentist will have their own views on this matter though.
