Dental Fillings

DENTAL FILLINGS IN XYZ

Your cavities can be treated at XYZ.

Our practice is mercury-free. Many people, however, still have old silver/mercury fillings in their teeth. These fillings are unsightly, and we know that, by necessity, silver/mercury fillings weaken tooth structure. Porcelain inlays and Tooth Colored Restorations (onlays) are fillings that are attractive (or invisible) and strengthen weak teeth. Thanks to modern bonding technology, these restorations are both attractive and durable.

Brushing your teeth in the proper way

Silver fillings have many drawbacks. The silver filling’s edges can wear down, weaken, or break. As a result, the tooth is no longer protected, allowing cavities to resurface. A silver filling’s metal expands, compresses, and splits as it ages.

Silver amalgam fillings contain 50% mercury. They have the potential to corrode, leak, and discolor your teeth and gums.

Silver fillings, fortunately, can be securely replaced with Tooth-Colored Restorations.

The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Restoration

Tooth-colored restorations have a number of advantages. Onlays made of resin are glued to the teeth, forming a snug, superior fit with the native tooth. These restorations may be employed in cases where a significant portion of the tooth structure has been lost. The tooth retains its integrity and becomes stronger as a result.

Due to the fluoride content of the resin used in tooth-colored restorations, this can help prevent decay. The resin wears just like natural teeth and does not require gum line implantation, which is better for your gums!

The end effect is a stunning smile!
