Amalgam & Mercury Free Dental Fillings
Replace old metal fillings with natural tooth-colored resins for a more attractive smile. Tooth Port Dental Centre offers safe removal of old mercury-containing fillings for replacement with natural tooth-colored alternatives. Amalgam fillings are metal-colored fillings traditionally used for fillings, but white fillings are now available and can be natural-looking and functional. New materials for white fillings are comparable in longevity to silver amalgam. It is best to replace fillings only when necessary, and some dentists may not recommend white fillings for back teeth. Tooth-colored fillings are made of glass particles, synthetic resin, and a setting ingredient. Adhesive dentistry is a less invasive alternative to traditional fillings. Crowns, inlays, and veneers are other options but can be more expensive.
