We personally believe that mercury, traditionally used for filling teeth
may be harmful and is unnecessary in modern dentistry. We therefore
do not use metal amalgams in our practice. White fillings or composite
resin restorations are bonded to the teeth. The fillings are therefore
invisible eliminating that blue stain common in metal fillings. These
white fillings can be built up in layers or made in ceramic or hardened
composite.
Please talk to us if you have any concerns about the safety of amalgam
or any worries you have about its removal as we take steps to ensure
minimum risk.
