Silver fillings can be replaced with white tooth fillings
 

Many people in the Pasadena area have had silver-mercury fillings placed into their teeth because they had "cavities". These silver fillings are called amalgams.  Amalgam fills the space where the decay in the tooth has been removed.

However, over time, the amalgam corrodes and leaks which blackens the silver, and many times the tooth. This is easily seen as soon as a patient opens his or her mouth and is usually a source of embarrassment for the patient.

At Dental Plus+ Dental Group we can provide  you with composite fillings that are made of a porcelain-like material that actually bonds to the tooth for a tight seal. They are strong and stain-resistant, and they are color-matched to the natural tooth, making them almost "invisible".

Composite fillings also lack the sensitivity that is often associated with silver amalgam fillings. They are especially suited for smaller cavities and for Pasadena area patients who may be allergic to metal fillings.

Please don't hesitate to call us at Dental Plus+ Dental Group with any questions you may have about the benefits of replacing silver-mercury amalgam fillings with mercury-free invisible white composite fillings.

 


NOTICE TO PATIENTS
PROPOSITION 6 WARNING: Dental Amalgam, used in many dental fillings, causes exposure to mercury, a chemical known to the state of California to cause birth defectives or other reproductive harm.

 

Root canal treatments and restorations, including fillings, crowns and bridges, use chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer.

 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has studied the situation and approved for use all dental restorative materials.

 

Consult your dentist to determine which materials are appropriate for your treatment.
