Our dental hygiene program utilizes state of the art equipment There was a time when silver-mercury amalgam was the material of choice for filling cavities.
Thankfully, times have changed. But some dentists have not. If you still have metal dentistry in your mouth, your teeth are at risk. Silver-mercury fillings react to temperature changes, expanding and contracting within your delicate tooth. This movement can weaken the tooth wall, causing it to break or chip. The movement also allows harmful bacteria to get in under the filling, causing further decay.
Mercury Free: We only use mercury-free fillings in a natural white color. Plus, when removing your old silver mercury fillings we take precautions that minimize your exposure to harmful mercury vapors.
