Can my black fillings be the same colour as my teeth

Q. The Fillings at the back of my mouth are black is there anything u can suggest to get them the same colour my teeth?

 
A. Nowadays there are 2 main ways to get rid of the old black fillings

1. Composite fillings - these are white plastic fillings that are used to make your tooth look white. There use is generally limited to small fillings as they tend not to last too long if they are too big.

2. For medium to large fillings porcelain fillings can be placed.
