White Fillings
We can replace unattractive, metallic fillings with tooth-colored
ones. Imagine laughing or singing to your heart's content without
worrying whether your neighbor is counting your fillings.
Tooth-colored, or white, fillings are stronger than silver amalgam
fillings because they actually bond to your tooth.
Composites vs Amalgram Fillings
We are dedicated to providing the highest quality of dental care
possible for patients, which is why we prefer filling cavities with
white composite material only, as opposed to mercury-containing
amalgam fillings. The average amalgam is 50% mercury bonded to 30%
silver and a bit of copper, tin, and zinc. Composites do not contain
any mercury or other types of metal.
