Mercury fillings can look out of place next to your healthy tooth enamel. These restorations can also put your health at risk, making their long-term presence in your smile less than ideal. Of course, to treat a cavity, you need some kind of restoration in place, but does that have to be a restoration made with metal materials? We can offer an alternative. As a holistic dental practice, we use materials that are safe and surprisingly attractive, which means you can feel truly comfortable with how you look in the long term.
Both composite and ceramic fillings are safe enough to remain in your mouth for the long term without concern. They are also appealing treatment options because they closely imitate healthy enamel, which means they will be hard to notice. While the composite material can be ideal for restoring teeth affected by smaller cavities, ceramic can offer remarkable durability and long-term protection.
Are you concerned about any mercury or amalgam metal fillings that you have already received? We provide their safe removal and replacement with materials that are dependably strong and lifelike as well! Based on the state of your tooth at the time of that removal, we can recommend either a composite or ceramic filling. In some cases, we may recommend a larger recommendation, such as a crown. If this is the case, we can take advantage of CEREC technology and have that crown ready to place on your tooth in just one appointment!
Through treatments that use safe materials like composite resin and ceramic, we take care of our patients’ smiles and their health when they visit us for care. Mercury-free dental work is just one of many ways in which we prioritize holistic dentistry, which means we take care to make oral health services better for your overall well-being!
