fillings are a thing of the past, and you will be more satisfied with naturally pleasing tooth colored fillings. Tooth decay can happen in a variety of places, in the front or back teeth. With composite (tooth colored) fillings, you can rarely see that the tooth has been restored.<\/p><p>Prior to the advances of modern dentistry, having a cavity filled meant a noticeable and unattractive silver (amalgam) filling. Today, Dr. Keith Metzger and Dr. Kyle Metzger have an impressive array of techniques and materials to restore your tooth with a tooth-colored material, called composite.<\/p><p>Composite fillings are appropriate for the most common restorations, which are small to moderate-sized. The composite material mimics the qualities of your natural toot structure, such as wear-resistance and translucency. Composite fillings also allow a more conservative treatment by preserving more of the tooth\u2019s structure.<\/p><p>If Dr. Metzger determines that a larger amount of the tooth must be replaced, another restoration solution such as an inlay or onlay may be preferred.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-66f98b44\" data-id=\"66f98b44\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2f8212c7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2f8212c7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-110e2051\" data-id=\"110e2051\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2ecce89d\" data-id=\"2ecce89d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f842964 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"f842964\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea7c35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ea7c35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What to Expect<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e1cfd1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e1cfd1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Dr. Metzger will remove the old existing filling an\/or the decayed areas of the tooth, using a local anesthetic to make to make the process painless.<\/p><p>Your tooth will then be filled with a durable dental composite material that can be shaped to match your natural tooth structure.

He will be mine until he retires. Recently I chipped a crown that was placed during college back around 1973. My two previous dentists would have immediately said it needs to be replaced. Dr. Metzger evaluated the situation, said it was not leaking, the chip was on the backside of the tooth, so he recommended just taking off the edges and for comfort and watch it. He chose the option which would save me money, not just get him additional revenue. I appreciated that and would recommend him to all of my friends!
