For many, many years, dentists and their patients had only one option when selecting a material for a dental filling—amalgam. Made of a combination of metals, these fillings did the job of repairing a tooth with decay but there was no getting around the dark spot in your smile. Today, however, Dr. Norman Sommers and Dr. Adam Sommers have a better choice. Your Norwalk dentist uses composite fillings to repair a cavity so your smile remains strong and attractive.
