I wanted an old silver filling removed and replaced with a white filling. When I got home, I saw they put a silver filling back in my tooth. I don\u2019t know why I didn\u2019t look in a mirror before I left or ask to look in their mirror. This is a side tooth and it shows the dark filling when I smile. It looks like a cavity. That&#8217;s why I asked to have it replaced. Now I have to go back and have it drilled out so it can be replaced with a white filling. What should I do to make sure the dentist gets it right this time? \u2013 Morena<\/p>\n<p>Morena \u2013 You should definitely tell your dentist about your concern. Consider asking your dentist if he or she uses white composite fillings at all. It could be that your dentist doesn\u2019t use them, or prefers amalgam fillings. You might also ask if filling your tooth with amalgam was intentional.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the answer you receive, you may need to find a dentist who doesn\u2019t use amalgam fillings. Dentist&#8217;s websites often advertise white fillings, <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/tooth-colored-fillings.html\">tooth-colored fillings<\/a>, composite fillings, or mercury-free fillings. A cosmetic dentist will ensure that you receive a natural-looking filling that blends in with your tooth.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\">Plano dentist<\/a> Dr. Miranda Lacy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to the dentist for a filling.
