Cosmetic Fillings

Old failed Silver mercury filling

Replaced with new beautiful bonded composite in less than an hour

Replacing old worn-out and leaking silver mercury amalgam fillings is done at our office on a routine basis now. We do not place any silver mercury fillings in this office as this is a mercury-free practice. It is almost univerally agreed that the modern nano-technology composite fillings (bonding) are very durable and much more aesthetic than composites of the previous generation. 

Not only do they last longer than an average silver filling, they also donot contain toxic mercury or compounds thereof. The composite fillings do not need a lot of tooth-structure removal as they can be bonded to the healthy tooth structure, and hence are more ‘conservative’. Since all the direct composites are hardened in the mouth using a blue spectrum light, they can be polished to a gloss at the same appointment as well. A second appointment is not required. 

In our opinion, direct bonding of composites to tooth sructure is the greatest revolution in modern dentistry, which although many decades old, has only in recent years found universal perfection. We use the latest nanotechnology composites for fillings on all teeth, front and back, and the results show very well, besides being a long-lasting investment for the patient.
