No Mercury! No Metals! No Kidding! For years, the silver-mercury amalgam was
the standard filling material used in dental
practices, and many practices still use it.
While they are a reasonable restoration,
amalgams have certain shortcomings. Metal
does not bond well to teeth, so decay can and
does eventually leak into the tooth. But the
biggest reason many of our patients are
choosing the white bonded fillings has to do
with the way they look. Many people just don’t want an ugly
black plug in their teeth. We offer modern restorations that are
a natural-looking white, contain no metals, and can actually
strengthen your teeth. They also bond very tightly with the
healthy part of the tooth so there is much less chance of decay
in the future.
